This raspberry white chocolate tart is one of my favourite things to make.
Dark and white chocolate combined with mascarpone cheese provide the perfect backdrop to gorgeous raspberries.
It’s quick and easy to make, too. No baking, just mixing and chilling.
The hardest part? Waiting. Let’s get to it.
Why you’ll love making this white chocolate tart recipe
I make this tart most often when raspberries are in season and in great abundance but since they’re usually available year-round these days, this makes for an awesome dessert any time of the year.
And you’ll love making this recipe because:
- It’s a no-bake tart. You don’t have to turn on your oven for this one. Simply combine your ingredients, allow the tart to set in the fridge, and serve.
- You can customize easily. No raspberries? No problem. You can substitute with strawberries, blueberries and even sugared cranberries. Not in the mood for a white chocolate fruit tart? Make a dark chocolate ganache and top the tart with that. The possibilities are endless.
- It looks stunning. Whatever topping you end up using, your tart will look very impressive. Nobody will ever suspect it took all of 2 seconds to prepare! Serve it to company, surprise loved ones on their birthday, add it to your baby shower or bridal shower menu.
How to make
This tart is bursting with white chocolate flavour. But dark chocolate fans, don’t despair. The crust balances out the sweetness of the white chocolate. I love drizzling dark chocolate over the tart too.
Ingredient notes
To make it, you’ll need:
- Oreo cookie crumbs — I use pre-crushed crumbs but you can also buy the cookies and crush them yourself or pulse them in the food processor
- Unsalted butter
- Salt
- Heavy cream — heavy cream has at least 36% milk fat content. In a pinch, you can use whipping cream with 30-35% milk fat content but know that your tart will not set as firmly
- Mascarpone cheese — buy full fat mascarpone as much as possible
- Granulated sugar
- White chocolate — use baking white chocolate and not white chocolate chips
Tools
I use my stand mixer to make the filling but a handheld electric mixer would work well too.
In addition, you’ll need a 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom.
This tart will stick so a removable bottom is important. If you don’t have one, you can use a small pie dish and just make a white chocolate pie!
Easy recipe with step-by-step photos
First thing you’ll want to do is work on your crust.
Combine all ingredients until evenly moist. Transfer to your tart pan and press firmly onto the bottom and up the sides. Chill while you prepare your filling
Beat heavy cream, mascarpone cheese and sugar until you get medium-stiff peaks. Add melted white chocolate and fold.
Transfer the filling to your tart pan and spread evenly. Top with fresh raspberries and chill for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight. That’s it!
Expert tips
How to melt white chocolate
My favourite way to melt white chocolate is by microwave.
- Place chopped white chocolate (chopped roughly the same size) in a microwave-safe bowl
- Microwave for 30 seconds
- Stir
- Repeat until the chocolate is completely melted, smooth and creamy
How to make mini tarts or tartlets
You can use this same recipe to make mini tarts or tartlets. You simply need to use mini tart pans, or you can set them up in cupcake liners in a cupcake pan.
It depends on how big (or small) you make them but the batter should be good enough for at least 12 tarts the size of regular-sized cupcakes.
Best way to wash raspberries
I find fresh raspberries tricky to wash because they’re very delicate and fragile and when I place them under running water they tend to fall apart.
Instead, I mix 1 part white vinegar with 3 parts water in a bowl, place the raspberries there, and gently swirl them around for a couple of minutes.
Then I drain and repeat with just water.
I then lay them flat on a paper towel to dry. It’s important to use washed but dry raspberries in this recipe because soggy fruit will just make a mess of things!
Recipe FAQs
Compared to cream cheese, mascarpone tastes richer, is creamier and has a higher milk fat content. But if you have trouble finding mascarpone, cream cheese will work in a pinch. Just expect a slightly tangy taste that cream cheese is known for.
I don’t recommend using frozen raspberries or other frozen fruit in this recipe because they will release too much liquid and become soggy as they thaw. What you can do is leave your white chocolate tart without toppings and serve frozen fruit on the side.
You can use any kind of cookie crumbs you like! I do find that using dark chocolate for the crust complements the white chocolate mascarpone filling so well.
Kept in the fridge, this tart is best eaten the next day, and good up to 3 days. Remember, too, that your tart is only as good as long as your berries remain fresh.

Notes
- I use pre-crushed Oreo cookie crumbs but you can certainly buy the cookies and crush them yourself.
- Make sure your melted white chocolate has come down to room temperature before adding to your mascarpone mixture. If it’s too warm, the chocolate will seize.
- Also, make sure your raspberries have been washed and properly dried before placing on top of your tart.

Tonya Wilhelm
You had me at no bake, raspberry, and chocolate. I have to admit, I would go for a dark chocolate. This recipe looks so good and pretty easy, even for me. Thanks!
Jolina
Haha I’d call that a triple win then 🙂
Carola
I love raspberries. But usually I just make pancakes with raspberries. I don’t have many other recipes with it. So I’m glad too see this one. It Looks delicious. The combi with chocolate is awesome.
Jolina
Whattt I would love to make raspberry pancakes. Recipe exchange? LOL!

Liz Mays
This looks so good! I can’t believe how easy it is to whip up. I need to do a bunch of no-bake recipes like this.
Sharon
I’m obsessed with white chocolate and this one is right up my alley. This looks amazingly yummy! I want to throw more summer parties just to justify myself making this raspberry tart.
Jolina
LOL I think that’s a perfect reason to throw summer parties 🙂
Chelley
This looks absolutely amazing! I love the video- it’s inspiring me to get off my butt and make this tonight!!!
Jaime
This looks amazing! I love the Oreo cookie crumbs as part of the base. The fact that it’s no bake makes it perfect in my opinion.
Divya
You had me at Oreo crust! I love the taste of crushed up Oreos in my dessert – especially if it’s a pie of some sort!
Jolina
Me too! I’m one of those people who scrape off the cream filling and just eat the Oreo cookie haha.
robin rue
See, I would make this and then hide it so I didn’t have to share. It sounds like such a refreshing summer dessert.
Jolina
I may or may not have done that in the past lol! Thanks Robin hope you get the chance to make this 🙂
Dawn
Yes! Summer goes by waaaaay too fast! Why is that?! Ugh! And our weather has been funny – one day it’s nice and warm and the other it’s cold. Like, we even had our fireplace on this weekend one day! And then the other day it’s was sooooo warm! Oh well! Love this no bake tart and that Oreo crust is scrump-de-lump-tious! Extra berries for me please 🙂 Great job on the video too, girl! Have a wonderful week!
Jolina
Hi Dawn! I think it’s because what they say is true? Time flies when you’re having fun? Maybe I should learn to have fun in the winter when it’s -40C lol! Oh dear videos are giving me stress headaches I’m telling you haha…thanks very much for watching! 🙂
Johnathan Vargo
Hey Jolina, this looks amazing and I loved the video! I want to make this but I have a question. Could I substitute cream cheese for the mascarpone cheese or would that affect the stability of the filling? Thank you for sharing this sensational dessert!!
Jolina
Hi John! I saw Kim’s comment before yours even though you commented first so it’s like major twilight zone moment for me lol! About your question, I haven’t tried actually so I can’t say for sure. I’d be worried less about the stability but more the flavour…cream cheese is tangy and mascarpone is more on the sweet side?
Johnathan Vargo
We both love your recipes so much, we have to comment. 🙂 Plus, I subscribe, so I always get an email when you post a new recipe.I usually go and comment when I get the alert.
Good point, I didn’t think about that aspect of the cream cheese. Perhaps I could increase the sugar a little to offset the tartness of the cheese. I could also whip the cream cheese with the extra sugar before hand and taste it prior to adding it to the dish.
You’ve given some things to think about. Thank you for the reminding me about the tangy side of the things lol! Have a great Monday, Jolina!
Robin
So pretty and delicious:). This would’ve ‘be been perfect for Canada’s 150 Birthday. But hey it’s so easy, I can do this anytime of the week.
Jolina
It would have been perfect with the red and white 🙂 But yes, this would be lovely any day. Thanks Robin!
