Bursting with color and fresh fruit flavor, this no‑bake Berry Tart features a crisp Maria cookie crust and a silky, jewel‑toned filling made with LA LECHERA® Sweetened Condensed Milk and CARNATION® Evaporated Milk. The stovetop‑cooked berry mixture sets up beautifully in the fridge, then gets topped with a tumble of fresh mixed berries for a show‑stopping finish. Effortless yet impressive, it’s the perfect easy dessert for summer gatherings, weeknight treats, or last‑minute celebrations. Pro tip: start with frozen berries for a smooth, stable filling and vibrant color.

Make It

Step 1

For the crust, line a tart pan with aluminum foil. Mix the crushed cookies with the melted butter until fully combined. Press the mixture into the tart pan, covering the bottom and sides to form a crust. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Step 2

For the filling, blend the NESTLÉ® CARNATION® Evaporated Milk, NESTLÉ® LA LECHERA® Sweetened Condensed Milk, frozen mixed berries, cornstarch and a bit of food coloring. Cook over medium heat until it thickens slightly.

Step 3

Pour the mixture over the cookie crust and refrigerate until fully set. Decorate with the fresh mixed berries and enjoy!

Tips:

It’s important to use frozen mixed berries to prevent the mixture from curdling during cooking due to the acidity of the fruit. You can substitute the mixed berries with mango.
