A quick and simple no-bake summer berry tart with a creamy filling and a buttery, crunchy crust, perfect for warm days and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (150g) graham cracker crumbs or digestive biscuits, crushed
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional)
  • 8 ounces (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup (120ml) heavy cream, whipped to soft peaks
  • ⅓ cup (40g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 cups (300g) mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Stir until mixture resembles wet sand (about 3-4 minutes).
  2. Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and about 1 inch up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan. Chill in the fridge for at least 15 minutes to set.
  3. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy (about 2 minutes on medium speed).
  4. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream to soft peaks, being careful not to overwhip.
  5. Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Add lemon juice and mix gently until combined.
  6. Spoon the creamy filling over the chilled crust and smooth out evenly. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
  7. Just before serving, arrange mixed fresh berries on top of the tart. Drizzle with honey or maple syrup if desired.
  8. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if using. Serve chilled.

Notes

Let cream cheese soften at room temperature for 30 minutes to avoid lumps. Chill crust before adding filling to prevent sogginess. Use fresh berries for topping to avoid excess moisture. Fold whipped cream gently to keep filling light and airy. Store tart covered in refrigerator up to 2 days; add berries fresh before serving.
