There are two types of sick.
There’s the omg-I-literally-cannot-move-and-liquids-are-coming-from-everywhere-help kind, and then there’s the ugh-I-have-the-sniffles-and-my-head hurts type.
So the first is pretty lethal and probably requires lots of soup, isolation, and medicine. But the second type is the dark horse. Sure, you’re not that sick, but you feel just crappy enough to be unable to focus on anything. But since you’re not really all that ill, you have no excuses.
I’ve been the second type of sick all weekend, and it’s really harshing my vibe. When you’re under the weather, you really want to put in minimal effort, which is why this week I have a no-bake dessert for you in the dead of winter.
Usually my winter baking philosophy is centered around, well, baking. But this week, preheating the oven and greasing a pan is just too much effort. So no-bake it is!
This raspberry oreo tart is remniscent of my mint oreo cheesecake from last March! The crust is simply berry oreos (but you could sub any type of oreos you think would work well) and the center is a simple and delicious raspberry macadamia filling.
This easy vegan dessert is made with 8 ingredients, requires no oven, and is surprisingly healthy!
Plus, that color just screams “Valentine’s Day“! Enjoy xx
- 15 Berry Oreos
- 1-2 tsp coconut oil
- 1 cup macadamia nuts, soaked for 4-6 hours
- ½ cup coconut milk, chilled
- 6 oz raspberries
- scant ¼ cup lemon juice
- ⅓ cup coconut oil, melted
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 6-8 Berry Oreos
- Combine crust ingredients in a food processor until homogenous and press into the bottom of an 8- or 9-inch tart pan.
- Combine filling ingredients until smooth and pour into prepared crust. Freeze for 2 hours.
- Top with oreos and return to freezer for 1-2 more hours.
- Thaw in fridge 30 minutes prior to serving.

How have I not seen berry Oreos yet?? I just made cheesecake bars with the Cinnamon Roll Oreos and now I want to incorporate different flavors of Oreos into everything. This is beautiful!

is the coconut milk the kind that comes in a can? Or can you use the kind in a carton (like the almond and soy milk does)?

Ugh that type of sick is the WORST – I’ve been sniffling and annoyingly tired all weekend too, and I just want to feel 100% again! Hopefully we’re both better soon 🙂 I’m all over this tart – such a delicious combination of flavors, especially the macadamias! Yum 😀
Medha says

Mir says
I’d much rather have the “this is awesome” type of sick any day, except I do relish the occasional day of feeling awful so I can spend time in bed and Netflix binge.
This is GORGEOUS, Medha!
Medha says
Thanks, Mir!

Elizabeth @ Confessions of a Baking Queen says
There really is nothing better than an Oreo crust. Vegan desserts always shock me for some stupid reason. And when I say shock me I mean that they are always so damn good its hard to believe no butter or cream was involved!
Medha says
Oreos are the best 🙂
