Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/4 cup chocolate sauce
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the crust. In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of graham cracker crumbs, 1/2 cup of melted butter, and 1/4 cup of sugar. Mix well until the crumbs are evenly coated with the butter and the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan or pie dish. Use the back of a measuring cup or your fingers to ensure an even layer. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat 8 oz of softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add in 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, mixing until well combined and there are no lumps.
- Fold in 1 cup of whipped cream gently into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream; you want the filling to remain light and airy.
- Once the filling is well combined, remove the tart crust from the refrigerator. Spoon the cream cheese and whipped cream mixture into the crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Rinse 1 cup of fresh blueberries under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Evenly distribute the blueberries over the cream cheese filling in the tart.
- Drizzle 1/4 cup of chocolate sauce over the top of the blueberries, creating a decorative pattern. You can also use a toothpick to swirl the chocolate sauce into the filling for a marbled effect.
- Cover the tart with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the filling to set. For best results, chill for several hours or overnight.
- When ready to serve, remove the tart from the refrigerator. Slice into 8 equal servings and enjoy your delicious no-bake blueberry chocolate tart!
Tips
- Chill Time is Key: For the best flavor and texture, allow the tart to chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, but overnight is even better! This helps the filling set perfectly and allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Opt for fresh blueberries for a burst of flavor and vibrant color. If you can, choose ripe, plump berries for the sweetest taste.
- Don’t Overmix: When folding in the whipped cream, be gentle! Overmixing can deflate the whipped cream, leading to a denser filling. You want that light and airy texture.
- Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to get creative with your toppings! Try adding a sprinkle of lemon zest for a zesty kick or a handful of chopped nuts for added crunch.
- Make Ahead: This tart is perfect for making ahead of time! Prepare it a day in advance and simply slice and serve when you’re ready for dessert.
- Presentation Matters: When drizzling the chocolate sauce, take your time to create an artistic pattern. A little extra effort in presentation can make your dessert even more enticing!
