Ingredients

Scale

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)

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.
