Celebrate your favorite patriotic holiday with this delicious Red, White, and Blue Cheesecake Tart. It’s an easy, yet decadent, no-bake recipe that your whole family will love!
With spring here and summer just around the corner, I’m already thinking about my favorite patriotic holidays! I love getting together with my friends and family on these occasions, and nothing makes the day more memorable than a festive dessert.
In the past, I’ve made everything from ice box cakes to popsicles, but this year, I’ll be celebrating with my gorgeous Red, White, and Blue Cheesecake Tart!
Red, White, and Blue Cheesecake Tart Recipe
You are going to love this Red, White, and Blue Cheesecake Tart! It’s easy to make (no baking required), and the taste is so creamy and delicious.
Start the recipe by making a quick four-ingredient graham cracker crust that you’ll press into a tart pan (use one with a removable ring for easy serving). This simple crust takes minutes to make, and the flavor is rich and buttery.
Once your crust is ready, it’s time to prepare the decadent cheesecake filling. You’ll begin by whipping together cream and powdered sugar. Next, you’ll combine cream cheese with fresh lemon juice and zest, then fold in the whipped cream to create a light texture.
Because it’s not baked, this Red, White, and Blue Cheesecake Tart is a little softer than your normal cheesecake. To help it hold together, you’ll want to freeze the tart for an hour or two before serving.
You don’t need to freeze the tart until it’s solid, just until it’s firm enough to slice neatly and serve. If you don’t have freezer space, you can refrigerate the tart instead. It just won’t be quite as firm.
After you’ve chilled the Red, White, and Blue Cheesecake Tart, you’ll add the colorful raspberries and blackberries. The berries are so pretty and make this dessert feel so patriotic! I arranged them in a circle, but have fun creating your own pattern.
This Red, White, and Blue Cheesecake Tart is a delicious no-bake recipe that's perfect for any patriotic occasion!
