Swedish Summer Strawberry Tart

This impressive dessert is the perfect way to celebrate the summer season. Take advantage of candy-sweet local strawberries, and make like the Swedes with this delicious and beautiful recipe. Perfect for entertaining, it’s also ideal for treating yourself at fika. Swedes are famous for fika, which simply means taking a break for coffee, a sweet treat and socializing—something we could all use in our own frenetic schedules. Strawberries are health powerhouses in their own right, boasting high leaves of polyphenols and antioxidants, as well as fiber, helping to lower blood pressure and cholesterol and protect your heart. The almond milk and flour in the crust here provide vitamin E, magnesium and fiber, as well as satiating protein to keep your blood sugar stable.
