Mixed Berry Tart

Mixed Berry Cheesecake Tart
I have a sweet tooth. A pretty wicked one which isn’t good for someone who doesn’t necessarily prefer to bake. If you asked me I would tell you I’m a cook. Don’t get me wrong, I can bake, I just prefer the flexibility of cooking vs the rigidness that baking requires. You just can’t wing it when you bake and I like to wing it, always have.

For me at least, when I try to wing it when baking things go all kinds of wrong and they’re not easily fixable like when I’m cooking. When cooking, I can adjust this add a pinch more of that until it comes around to what I had envisioned the dish to be. So when you’ve got an easy delicious dessert that requires minimal baking, I’m SO in.

There’s a reason Panna Cotta is my go to dessert ; )

Another go to is a semi no-bake cheesecake like this one. You start out by bashing up graham crackers for a crust and then baking it. That’s the extent of the baking for this beauty. The rest is mixed up using your mixer, or if you’re working on your arms (I should be but mmm yeah don’t sign me up for that) you can absolutely mix it up old school. Good on ya if so.

I think this would also be great with a shortbread crust or cookie crust. Next time. There’s always a next time with desserts around our house.

Once the cream cheese mixture has chilled out for a bit – don’t skimp on this step, it needs to set up so it’s sliceable, otherwise you’ll be eating it in a cup. Not saying there’s anything wrong with that, I’m not the most patient person, we topped our tart with fresh blueberries and strawberries that were drizzled with our favorite HONEY.

You can absolutely use ANY combo of fresh berries. Raspberries and blackberries would be faboosh too. Go ahead and go crazy. You know how much we love options.

    I feel the same way, I don’t have the patience for all the measuring requires in baking. That being said, I will break out the measuring cups for something as stunning as this! What a beauty!!!

    I’m with you on the cooking versus baking. I prefer to cook because you can’t just wing baking especially in my niche with sugar free. Too many failed recipes but that is all part of the challenge I love anyway. I prefer many no bake recipes and this looks incredibly delicious!

    There is nothing like a gorgeous fresh berry tart in the spring or summer…especially one that is low-fuss like this one and you don’t have to break a sweat. 🙂

    I cannot tell you how happy I am when I see REAL dairy products used in recipes! Lately, it seems that so many people want to use non-dairy ingredients, and I just cannot understand why. This recipe sounds luscious, and I love the addition of the honey topping! On my recipe list!!

  15. Linda @ Food Huntress says

    05/28/2015 at 12:34 pm

    All my favorite ingredient are in this pie! Love it!
