This Classic No-Bake Cheesecake Tart features a buttery graham cracker crust filled with a light and creamy cheesecake mixture, topped with fresh berries. Perfect for a refreshing dessert that requires no baking, this tart is easy to prepare and delightfully delicious.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Crust

  • 8 Tbsp (113g or 1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 15 graham cracker sheets (about 2 cups crumbs)
  • 3 Tbsp (38g) light brown sugar, packed
  • Pinch kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal)

Filling

  • 3/4 cup (180g) heavy cream, chilled
  • 8 oz (1 brick) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1-2 tsp fresh lemon zest
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Topping

  • 2 cups fresh berries, chopped to bite-size as needed

Instructions

  1. Make the crust: Place a 4×13-inch tart pan (preferably with a removable bottom) on a sheet pan to catch any crumbs. In a food processor, pulse the graham crackers until coarse crumbs form. Add brown sugar and salt, pulse to combine. Drizzle in melted butter and pulse until mixture is moist and holds together when pinched. Press crumbs evenly into the bottom and sides of the tart pan. Refrigerate until ready to fill.
  2. Make the filling: Using a stand mixer with the balloon whisk attachment or a hand mixer, whip the chilled heavy cream starting at low speed, then medium-high until soft peaks form. Transfer whipped cream to a bowl. Switch to the paddle attachment and beat cream cheese, granulated sugar, and lemon zest until smooth and creamy. Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, then stir in vanilla extract.
  3. Assemble the tart: Scoop the cheesecake filling into the chilled graham crust, spreading evenly from corner to corner and smoothing the top with an offset spatula. Chill the tart for at least 1 hour.
  4. Add toppings and serve: Just before serving, top the tart with fresh bite-sized berries. Enjoy your refreshing no-bake cheesecake tart!

Notes

  • For a firmer crust, you can press the crumbs tightly and refrigerate longer before filling.
  • Pre-chilling the mixing bowl before whipping the cream helps achieve better volume, especially on warm days.
  • This tart is best served chilled and consumed within 2-3 days for freshness.
  • You can substitute graham crackers with digestive biscuits or any other crunchy cookie for variation.
  • Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
