No Bake Berry Almond Tart
This No Bake Berry Almond Tart is light, fruity, no bake and perfect for summer! The combination of almond and berries is one of my favorites and it’s great in this tart.
One of my favorite things about summer is all of the fresh fruit. My husband and are big on fruit – both fresh fruit and fruity flavored candies, so this dessert was right up our alley. And since summer means it’s hot, not having to use your oven for this no bake tart is a big plus in my book.
To get started, combine graham cracker crumbs and almond crumbs with some melted butter. Press it into the tart pan to make the crust. If you’re unsure about to create almond crumbs, just take sliced almonds and put them into your food processor until they turn into crumbs. You can also use almond meal/flour.
The filling takes only 4 ingredients – cream cheese, sugar, almond extract and Cool Whip. It’s nice and easy to put together. If you aren’t a fan of Cool Whip, feel free to substitute in homemade whipped cream.
Spread the filling evenly into the crust and then top with fresh blueberries and strawberries. You can try to mimic my own pattern, or make your own. Fruit naturally makes some of the prettiest toppings.
This tart is sure to be a hit. I took it to our small group (a church group we attend every week) and it disappeared! I thought for sure I’d have at least one piece left to bring home for myself and I was wrong. Not a crumb left and they were already asking me for the recipe. 🙂
