No Bake Blackberry Tart
Silky smooth and simple to make, this No Bake Blackberry Tart is filled to the cookie-crumb brim with freshly pureed berries. Dreamy in color and creamy delicious, this no-oven-required recipe is purple perfection.
Patience, it’s what you have when there are too many witnesses. I’d prefer to have a tranquilizer dart, but if I shoot everyone who’s been twerking on my last nerve humans will go extinct. Needless to say, the past few days have been trying. Everything’s falling apart at the seams I’m over here trying to hold it all together with Gorilla Glue and Magic Tape.
Now I’m doubting my choice of adhesives.
Sticky bonding agents are only a temporary fix and when they fail I’m going to snap like a Slim Jim. When I go mental, I’ll be going like a gas station meat stick: bold, spicy and a bit greasy. Now that I think about it, that’s probably how they’ll describe me on my arrest record. The truth hurts, but then again so do handcuffs.
To keep my wrists out of silver bracelets, I’m staying calm the only way I know how: by baking. Only today’s recipe is no-bake so I still have a 50/50 chance of wearing police-issued jewelry. Oh well, at least my last meal as a free woman will be memorable. Take it from me, this Black Raspberry Tart is unforgettable. Striking in color and sweet as can be, this fresh-fruit tart is blended with cream cheese and cradled in an Oreo cookie crust. It’s 100% no bake and sets up while you sleep–whether that’s in a bed or a jail cell. Either way, you’ll have the most amazing dessert to look forward to in the morning.
Before sharing the No Bake Blackberry Tart recipe, here are a few tips and tricks to help you out:
Ingredient Tips
Full fat cream cheese is a must for the cheesecake filling, therefore, do not substitute reduced fat or fat free. Also, make sure cream cheese is softened to room temperature before beginning.
For best results, heavy whipping cream should be very cold before whipping. For even better results, whip it in a prechilled bowl.
I used regular Oreos, but you can go for it and substitute Double Stuff. When pulsing Oreos in the food processor use the entire cookie, filling and all.
Preparation Tips
Refrigerate tart for a few hours until the filling sets before covering with plastic wrap to avoid it sticking to the wrap.
How to Store Blackberry Tart
Cover and store leftovers in the refrigerator up to 5 days.
This tart freezes well when double wrapped. First, cover in plastic wrap. Next, cover in aluminum foil then place in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.

Can I substitute raspberry
Hi Julie, most berries can be used interchangeably in baking recipes. Having said that, I’ve only made this particular tart using blackberries. If you give it a try with raspberries, please let me know how it turns out!
