Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 2 cups Finely Crushed Salted Pretzels Substitute with gluten-free pretzels for a gluten-free version.

  • 1/2 cup Salted Butter (melted) Unsalted butter can be used if you prefer to control salt levels.
  • 4 tablespoons Honey Plus more for serving; agave syrup can be substituted for a vegan option.
For the Filling
  • 4 ounces Mascarpone Cheese or Cream Cheese Cream cheese offers a tangier flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice Lime juice could also work.
  • 1/3 cup Heavy Cream Substitute with coconut cream for a dairy-free version.
  • 1-2 teaspoons Lemon Zest Adds brightness to the mascarpone filling.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the finely crushed salted pretzels, beaten egg, melted salted butter, and honey. Stir until evenly coated. Press into the bottom of the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
  3. In a separate mixing bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese and lemon juice until smooth. Slowly pour in the heavy cream and beat until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the honey and lemon zest.
  4. Once the crust is completely cooled, spread the mascarpone mixture evenly over the top. Layer sliced strawberries over the mascarpone and drizzle additional honey if desired. Add chamomile flowers for garnish.
  5. Slice the tart into portions and enjoy immediately, or refrigerate for up to one day before serving.
