Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 320 g Oreo Cookies Perfect for a sweet and sturdy base; feel free to substitute with any creamy-filled cookie.
  • 1/3 cup Vegan Butter Melting this binds your crust together like a dream, making it easier to mix.
For the Mousse Filling
  • 8 oz Blackberries & Blueberries The star flavors of this mousse; swap for any preferred berries for a delicious twist.
  • 1 cup Non-Dairy Cream Cheese Adds a rich creaminess; can be switched with drained yogurt or conventional cream cheese for a non-vegan version.
  • 1/3 cup Sugar Sweetens the tart to counterbalance the tartness of the berries; adjust as needed based on berry types.
  • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract This classic flavor enhancer elevates your creation; alternatives can also work for a twist.
  • 1 cup Non-Dairy Whipping Cream Whipped to airy perfection for that luxurious mousse texture; remember, chilling is key!
  • 1/4 cup Non-Dairy Milk Used to prepare agar-agar; any plant milk works wonders here.
  • 1 tsp Agar-Agar Powder This vegan gelling agent is essential for firming up your mousse; gelatin is an option for non-vegan variations.

  • small saucepan

Method
 

Prepare the Crust
  1. Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor for a smooth base. Melt the vegan butter and combine it with the crumbs in a bowl until evenly mixed. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a tart pan, ensuring a compact layer. Place the crust in the freezer for 15 minutes to set while you prepare the mousse.
Make the Mousse Filling
  1. In a blender, puree the blackberries and blueberries until smooth, adding a touch of sweetness if desired. For a seedless mousse, strain this mixture through a fine mesh sieve. In a mixing bowl, combine the berry puree with vegan cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract, blending until creamy and uniform—this delightful mixture forms the base of your No-Bake Blackberry Mousse Tart.
Whip the Cream
  1. In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to whip the chilled non-dairy cream until stiff peaks form, taking about 3-5 minutes. Once whipped, gently fold the cream into the berry-cream cheese mixture until well combined, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream, which adds a light and airy texture to your mousse filling.
Prepare Agar-Agar
  1. In a small saucepan, combine the agar-agar powder with the non-dairy milk and bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring continuously for about 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly and is dissolved. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before incorporating into the mousse mixture to ensure a smooth blend.
Combine
  1. Fold the cooled agar-agar mixture into the berry mousse, mixing gently until fully combined. Be cautious not to overmix, as you want to keep the airy texture of the whipped cream intact. This step is crucial for ensuring the mousse sets beautifully in the No-Bake Blackberry Mousse Tart.
Assemble Tart
  1. Remove the crust from the freezer and pour the mousse filling into it, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even finish. Cover the tart with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight is even better to allow it to firm up perfectly.
Serve and Decorate
  1. Once set, carefully unmold the tart from the pan. To enhance its presentation, top it with fresh berries, a sprinkle of chocolate shavings, or whipped coconut cream. Slice and serve your stunning No-Bake Blackberry Mousse Tart chilled, delighting your family and friends with this effortless and vibrant dessert.
