Tips & Variations

• For a firmer filling, chill the tart longer or add an extra 1/2 teaspoon of gelatin.
• Try substituting blackberries with raspberries or blueberries for a different berry flavor.
• If you don’t have a food processor, place Oreos in a sealed bag and crush with a rolling pin.
• Use low-fat cream cheese for a lighter tart, though texture will be less creamy.

Storage

Store the tart covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To reheat, allow it to come to room temperature for about 15 minutes; this tart is best served chilled and does not require warming.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use frozen blackberries instead of fresh?

Yes, you can use frozen blackberries. Thaw them fully and drain any excess liquid before pureeing to avoid a watery filling.

Is it necessary to use gelatin?

Gelatin helps the filling set firmly since this tart is no-bake. Without gelatin, the filling may be too soft and not hold its shape well.

Crust

• 25 Oreo Cookies
• 5 Tbsp unsalted butter (melted)

Filling

• 12 ounces fresh blackberries
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 Tbsp powdered gelatin (unflavored)
• 8 ounces full fat cream cheese
• 2 tsp vanilla extract (pure)
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions

1. Prepare the tart pan: Coat a 9-inch tart pan with nonstick cooking spray and set it aside.
2. Make the Oreo crust: Pulse the Oreo cookies, including the filling, in a food processor until fine crumbs form, yielding approximately 1.5 cups of crumbs. Add melted butter to the crumbs and pulse until evenly moistened.
3. Form the crust: Firmly press the Oreo crumb mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the tart pan using the bottom of a clean measuring cup to ensure even compaction.
4. Chill the crust: Place the tart pan in the freezer to chill and set while preparing the filling.
5. Puree blackberries: In a blender, puree 12 ounces of fresh blackberries until smooth.
6. Combine filling ingredients: Add granulated sugar, powdered gelatin, cream cheese, and vanilla extract to the blackberry puree and blend on high until the mixture is well combined. Set aside.
7. Whip cream: In a separate bowl, beat heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
8. Fold filling: Gently fold the blackberry mixture into the whipped cream using a rubber spatula until fully combined. If the mixture is lumpy, whisk quickly by hand until smooth.
9. Assemble tart: Remove the Oreo crust from the freezer. Pour the blackberry filling into the crust and smooth the top with an offset spatula.
10. Refrigerate the tart: Cover the tart loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a few hours until set, then refrigerate overnight for best results.
11. Serve: Carefully remove the rim from the tart pan, slice the tart, and garnish with additional fresh blackberries if desired.
12. Store leftovers: Cover any leftover tart and store it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Notes

• Ensure the cream cheese is softened before blending for a smoother filling.
• If gelatin lumps appear, heat the mixture gently to dissolve or use cold water to bloom the gelatin before adding.
• For a firmer tart, chill overnight to allow the gelatin to set completely.
• Use fresh blackberries for the best flavor and texture.
• Substitute Oreo cookies with gluten-free sandwich cookies if a gluten-free crust is desired.
