Crust
- 24 Oreos, finely crushed (about 9.5 oz.)
- 5 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
Filling
- 1 (1/4-oz.) packet gelatin
- 3 tbsp. water
- 17 oz. fresh blackberries (about 3 cups), divided
- 1 tbsp. orange juice
- 1/2 tsp. kosher salt, divided (1/4 tsp. for crust + 1/4 tsp. for filling)
- 2/3 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 6 oz. mascarpone cheese, room temperature
Topping
- 1 tbsp. reserved blackberry puree
- 5 oz. reserved whipped cream
- Remaining 2 oz. blackberries
- 1/4 cup mini Oreos (optional)
- Prepare the crust: In a large bowl, combine finely crushed Oreos, melted butter, and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Using the bottom of a measuring cup or glass, press the Oreo mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan to form an even crust. Place in the freezer for about 20 minutes to chill and set.
- Dissolve the gelatin: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the gelatin packet and 3 tablespoons of water, whisking occasionally until the gelatin is fully dissolved, approximately 1 minute. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Make the blackberry puree: In a blender, puree 15 ounces of blackberries until smooth. Pour the puree through a fine mesh sieve into a medium bowl to remove seeds, yielding about 1 1/2 cups of smooth puree. Reserve 1 tablespoon of this puree for the topping and set aside.
- Mix filling base: To the remaining blackberry puree in the bowl, add 1 tablespoon orange juice, the dissolved gelatin, and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Stir gently to combine.
- Whip the cream and combine: Using a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment (or a handheld mixer), whip the heavy cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Gradually add the condensed milk, continuing to beat until fully incorporated. Reserve 5 ounces of this whipped cream for the topping.
- Combine mascarpone and blackberry mixture: Reduce mixer speed to low and add the mascarpone cheese and the blackberry puree mixture to the whipped cream. Beat gently until smooth and uniform with no white streaks remaining.
- Assemble the tart: Pour the blackberry mascarpone filling into the chilled Oreo crust, smoothing the top. Refrigerate the tart for at least 1 hour and up to 2 hours to set properly.
- Prepare topping: In a medium bowl, fold the reserved 1 tablespoon of blackberry puree into the 5 ounces of reserved whipped cream gently, leaving visible streaks of both.
- Garnish the tart: Spoon dollops of the blackberry whipped cream mixture onto the center of the tart. Cut half of the remaining 2 ounces of fresh blackberries in half, and arrange these halves along with the whole blackberries on top of the cream. Optionally, sprinkle mini Oreos for added texture and decoration.
Notes
- Ensure the mascarpone is at room temperature to avoid lumps in the filling.
- Freezing the crust before filling helps it hold shape since this is a no-bake tart.
- If fresh blackberries are unavailable, frozen blackberries can be thawed and used instead, but the texture may be slightly different.
- Gelatin dissolves quickly—avoid boiling it to keep the gelatin’s setting properties.
- The small amount of salt balances the sweetness and enhances the flavors.
- For a citrus twist, you may substitute the orange juice with lemon or lime juice.
- Mini Oreos on top are optional but provide a fun texture contrast.
