Met on a crisp Oreo base, with nothing to hide.

The other replied, “I’m tart and sweet, let’s chill!”

Together they danced, a perfect embrace,
Melding flavours, setting hearts to race.
With a twist of the crust, their love was complete,
And that’s how this tart became the ultimate treat!

This stunning dessert is super simple to make, looks impressive, and is sure to wow everyone. Find out how to whip up this fabulous tart!

Note: This is a no-bake recipe where everything sets perfectly in the freezer and fridge—no fuss, just deliciousness! Perfect for the busy holiday season or anytime you need a quick treat.

ITEMS YOU NEED

• Tart pan – I used one with a removable bottom, which makes it much easier to lift the tart out. You can use a different pan, but it might be a bit trickier.
• Blender/food processor – Perfect for crushing the Oreo cookies and pureeing the raspberries smoothly.
• Grater – I used it to finely grate the dark chocolate for a decorative touch on top of the tart.

INGREDIENTS

• 4 punnets of raspberries: 1 for the filling, 1 for the purée topping, and 2 for decorating the tart.
• 45 Oreo Cookies (about 3–4 packs). I originally planned to use fewer cookies, but my tart pan needed extra coverage. If you’re using a smaller pan, you can reduce the quantity accordingly. 
• 90 grams of butter
• 300 ml of whipping cream
• 400 grams of dark chocolate

Summer’s Sweetest Treat: Raspberries Are in Season!

Raspberries are at their peak this summer, bursting with flavour and brimming with health benefits. These vibrant berries are rich in antioxidants, helping to fight free radicals and support anti-aging, and they’re packed with vitamin C to keep your skin radiant and healthy.

And let’s not forget dark chocolate—it’s not just indulgent but also good for you in moderation! Loaded with antioxidants and linked to heart health, dark chocolate makes the perfect partner for raspberries.

This tart is the ultimate way to enjoy the best of both worlds. It’s a delicious dessert that also helps you get your dose of summer’s sweetest fruit and a touch of heart-healthy indulgence!

METHOD

Step 1: Crafting the Oreo Tart Crust
(Feel free to swap the Oreo crust for a classic pastry base, homemade or store-bought.)
Start by crushing the Oreo cookies in a blender or food processor—you may need to work in batches. Once crushed, the cookies should resemble fine crumbs, almost like edible dirt (but much tastier!). Transfer the crumbs to a bowl, melt the butter, and mix it into the crumbs until they form a sticky dough.

Step 2: Preparing and Shaping the Crust
Lightly grease the tart pan with a touch of butter to ensure the crust doesn’t stick and releases easily. Press the Oreo dough into the pan, smoothing it out to create an even layer along the bottom and up the sides. Take care to ensure the crust is consistent throughout—this will help it hold together when sliced and prevent crumbling.

Step 3: Setting the Crust
Once the crust is pressed into the tart pan, it needs time to set. Place the pan in the freezer for 10 minutes to firm up. After that, transfer it to the fridge to keep it chilled until you’re ready to add the filling.

Step 4: Creating the Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine 300ml of whipping cream, melted dark chocolate, and the purée from 1 punnet of raspberries. Stir until the mixture is smooth, well-blended, and starts to thicken. Once ready, pour the luscious filling into the prepared tart crust, spreading it evenly.

Step 5: Crafting the Raspberry Purée Topping
Blend 1 punnet of raspberries until silky smooth. Pour the purée into a jug or directly onto the tart, spreading it gently over the chocolate filling. For a thicker, more decorative effect, reduce the purée slightly before adding it. Whether it’s a vibrant pattern or a rich additional layer, this raspberry topping perfectly complements the dark chocolate.

Step 6: Setting the Tart
Allow the tart to chill in the fridge for at least 3 hours to set properly. Make sure it’s firm and no longer wobbly—if it still jiggles, give it a bit more time to chill. For best results, you can let it set overnight, which works perfectly without altering the final texture. I let this tart chill overnight for an effortless finish.

Step 7: Decorations
As the tart sets, get creative with your decorations! You can top it with more fresh raspberries, a handful of nuts, shaved chocolate, molded chocolate decorations, or even a scoop of ice cream for an extra indulgent touch.

This dessert is incredibly simple to make and doesn’t require much hands-on time. It took me about an hour to prep everything, and the fridge did the rest. Plus, no baking? That’s a treat in itself!

I hope you enjoy making this tart as much as I did. Why not get creative with different decorations—pine nuts, pistachios, toasted almonds, or even more raspberries to fill the entire tart? You could also try adding dark chocolate decorative moulds to give it an extra special touch. Have fun with it and make it your own.

POST FEAST REVIEW

I was genuinely surprised at how simple this recipe turned out to be! It might look fancy, but trust me, it’s not. Just whip up the crust, mix the filling, add the topping, and let the fridge work its magic. Once it’s set, go wild with the decorations, and you’re ready to serve. Easy, right?

Next time, I’m thinking of trying a traditional pastry base or maybe even a store-bought one, just to see how it changes the flavor and prep time. But let me tell you, this tart was devoured in record time! Everyone couldn’t stop raving about the velvety smooth dark chocolate paired perfectly with the tart zing of the raspberries—it’s a match made in dessert heaven.

And can we take a moment to appreciate that Oreo cookie crust? Not only was it ridiculously easy to make, but the deep dark base also made the vibrant red raspberries pop like a work of art. Total showstopper!

WOULD I MAKE THIS AGAIN?

Absolutely, I’d definitely make this again—it was a huge hit in my house! Next time, I’d opt for individual tarts instead of one large one, as it makes for a more convenient, bite-sized treat. That way, you can simply enjoy a small tart without needing to slice it up. This dessert is incredibly easy to make and perfect for dinner parties, birthdays, holidays, or any special occasion.
