Description

The No-Bake Strawberry Lemon Swirl Tart is a refreshing dessert that combines tangy lemon filling with a sweet strawberry swirl, all on a buttery graham cracker crust. This easy-to-make tart requires no baking, making it the perfect summer dessert.


Ingredients

  1. For the crust:
    1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (or digestive biscuit crumbs)
    1/4 cup granulated sugar
    1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
    For the lemon filling:
    8 oz cream cheese, softened
    1/2 cup powdered sugar
    1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
    1 teaspoon lemon zest
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1 1/2 cups heavy cream, whipped to stiff peaks
    For the strawberry swirl:
    1 cup fresh strawberries, pureed
    2 tablespoons powdered sugar
    1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar. Add the melted butter and stir until evenly coated, resembling wet sand. Press the mixture into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch tart pan or pie dish. Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to set.

  1. Make the lemon filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Add the fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract, and mix until fully combined. Gently fold in the whipped heavy cream until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  2. Make the strawberry swirl: Puree the fresh strawberries with the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. If the puree is too thick, add a little water to thin it out.
  3. Assemble the tart: Pour the lemon filling into the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Drop small spoonfuls of strawberry puree onto the lemon filling, then use a toothpick, skewer, or butter knife to swirl the strawberry puree into the filling, creating a marbled effect.
  4. Chill the tart: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the filling to set and flavors to meld together.
  5. Serve: Before serving, garnish with fresh strawberry slices or a dollop of whipped cream if desired. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

  1. You can use frozen strawberries, but make sure to thaw and drain them before pureeing to avoid excess liquid.
  2. Ensure the crust is chilled for at least 30 minutes to prevent it from becoming soggy when the filling is added.
  3. For an extra citrus twist, try using lime juice or orange juice in the filling instead of lemon.
