These super-easy Berry Tarts make a wonderful dessert for summer! There’s no baking involved because you use store-bought dessert shells for these tarts. There’s a thin layer of raspberry or blueberry jam on the inside bottom of the dessert shell to add a little extra sweetness to the tart. And the creamy filling is a simple mix of cream cheese, confectioners’ sugar, and a little vanilla extract. Then you just top with fresh berries, like raspberries and blueberries, for a sweet-tasting and sweet-looking dessert!

I think the size is perfect, too—these tarts are not too small and not too big—they’re just right! 🙂 It’s also easy to make fruit substitutions in these—instead of raspberries, try sliced strawberries, or switch out the blueberries for blackberries. Not a berry lover? Use other kinds of fresh fruit, like sliced peaches and/or sliced kiwifruit!

It’s fun trying different ways of arranging the fruit on top, so get creative with these! 🙂 If you like the plates these tarts are shown on in the photos above, they’re called Thankful 2-Tiered Plates and they’re from MaryandMartha.com. They’re a great size for serving different food items or even for displaying smaller home decor items like candles, shells, or seasonal decorations.

So are you a fan of berries or do you prefer other kinds of fruit?
