This no-bake patriotic berry tart is the perfect holiday dessert! This is an easy and delicious dessert to serve at a summer party!
The other day it hit me that I don’t really have many 4th of July recipes on my blog, and I thought it was time to change that.
And I also don’t have too many no-bake desserts on here either, so this patriotic berry tart kills two birds with one stone. It starts with an Oreo cookie crust (use the Oreos that fit your diet, there are plenty of options to choose from, including vegan and gluten free), <-Â (affiliate links) and then has a cream cheese layer, a whipped topping layer, and plenty of patriotic raspberries and blueberries.
This patriotic berry tart is such an easy dessert to put together, and everyone loves the combination of a cookie crust, creamy filing, and fresh fruit. It’s perfect for your Fourth of July festivities this weekend!
Since we are dairy free, I used Daiya cream cheese and SO Delicious Coco Whip Light.
But the beautiful thing about this patriotic dessert is that you can use regular cream cheese and whipped topping like Cool-Whip and it will still be great!
Use the ingredients that work for you – you can’t mess this berry tart up, it’s super simple. You could even make your own coconut whipped cream if you wanted to, but it will have a stronger coconut flavor if you do that.
Whatever option you choose, this patriotic berry tart is sure to become a summer favorite!
