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
- 1/2 cup fresh blackberries (optional, for garnish)
- Prepare the tart pan: Coat a 9-inch tart pan with nonstick cooking spray and set it aside.
- 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.
- 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.
- Chill the crust: Place the tart pan in the freezer to chill and set while preparing the filling.
- Puree blackberries: In a blender, puree 12 ounces of fresh blackberries until smooth.
- 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.
- Whip cream: In a separate bowl, beat heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
- 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.
- Assemble tart: Remove the Oreo crust from the freezer. Pour the blackberry filling into the crust and smooth the top with an offset spatula.
- Refrigerate the tart: Cover the tart loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a few hours until set, then refrigerate overnight for best results.
- Serve: Carefully remove the rim from the tart pan, slice the tart, and garnish with additional fresh blackberries if desired.
- 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.
