These cold coffee tarts are the perfect dessert if you have last-minute guests or want to serve something sweet but light (no oven, so no stress!). The base is prepared in a few minutes with dry biscuits and butter, while the cream is a cloud of whipped cream and mascarpone flavored with instant coffee or a strong espresso — depending on how much aroma you want.

Delicious tips for perfect tarts
If you want to make them lighter, you can replace mascarpone with creamy ricotta or Greek yogurt.
For a more intense taste, add a teaspoon of coffee liqueur to the cream (like Bayles or Tia Maria).
You can prepare the bases in advance and keep them in the fridge: they stay crunchy for up to two days.
If you want to serve them at parties, decorate with whipped cream and chocolate shavings just before serving.

FAQ COLD COFFEE TARTS no-bake
Can I use chocolate biscuits for the base?
Sure! They become even more delicious, especially if you love the contrast between coffee and cocoa.
How long should they stay in the fridge before serving?
At least 1 hour is perfect: the cream sets and the flavors blend.
Can the coffee tarts be frozen?
Yes, but take them out half an hour before serving so they return to being soft and creamy.
Can I make them without cream?
You can replace it with cream cheese or extra mascarpone, but the result will be less fluffy.
