No Bake Cheesecake Triple Berry Star Tart
Description
This tart starts with a graham cracker crust made by combining melted butter and graham cracker crumbs pressed into a tart pan and chilled to set. The filling is a no-bake cheesecake made by lightly beating softened cream cheese with sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, then chilling it until firm. Once set, fresh berries are arranged on top in a star shape using blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries, adding a bright, fresh finish to the dish.
The combination of the crunchy, buttery crust with the rich, creamy cheesecake filling creates a balanced texture, while the fresh berries contribute tartness and visual appeal. The tart pan with removable sides helps maintain the shape and allows for neat slices. This dessert is well-suited for serving chilled, especially during warmer weather or for occasions requiring an elegant yet simple presentation.
Chilling the tart for several hours or overnight before adding the toppings helps the filling set properly. The berry star design is flexible and can be adapted as desired. Drizzling honey and garnishing with fresh mint add complementary sweetness and freshness.
Ingredients
graham crust
- 8 tablespoons butter melted, unsalted
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
no bake cheesecake filling
- 12 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
berry star
- 2 pints strawberries hulled and sliced lengthwise
- 1 pint blueberries
- 1/2 pint raspberry
- honey for drizzling
- mint fresh, for garnish
Instructions
graham crust
- Stir together the graham crumbs and melted butter in a large bowl until the crumbs are moistened. Press them into a 9-inch tart pan, bringing the crust up the sides of the pan. Refrigerate for 30 minutes while you make the filling.
- Note: a tart pan helps because the pan around the tart is removable and allows you to cut it nicely! If you want to make it in a pie dish, that’s totally fine too – it just may not hold it’s shape when scooped out.
no bake cheesecake filling
- In the bowl of your electric mixer, beat the cream cheese until creamy and smooth. Beat in the condensed milk and vanilla extract until combined. The mixture should be creamy with no lumps. Pour the mixture on top of the graham crust. Refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours (or overnight!) before adding the berries on top.
berry star
- To make the berry star, form the blueberries into a star in the center of the tart. It doesn’t have to be neat, just get the shape and you can fix it later! Layer the strawberries along the outsides of the tart, making two or three rows. Fill in the center spaces with raspberries. Go back in and “perfect” the star as much as you can. Right before serving, drizzle with honey and top with fresh mint.
Notes
- The tart pan's removable sides assist in clean removal and neat slices; a pie dish works but might not hold shape as well.
- Chill the cheesecake filling for at least 4 to 6 hours or overnight to ensure it sets firmly before adding berries.
- The berry star design is a suggestion and can be adjusted to your preference.
- Honey drizzle and fresh mint garnish enhance the flavor and presentation.
