COLD CRUMBLE CAKE with JAM, a very simple and quick no-bake tart, perfect after lunch or for Sunday, fresh and pleasant.
This morning, while planning the Sunday menu, I found myself with a pantry full of dry cookies but zero desire to turn on the oven. So I thought: why not make a cold crumble tart with jam? A perfect dessert also for breakfast, snack, or dessert with friends.
It’s one of those recipes that seem complicated but are actually a piece of cake: just grind the cookies, mix with a bit of oil or cream cheese, and then distribute by hand into molds. On top, a generous layer of jam (red fruit, apricot, or whatever you like best), and off to the fridge for a few hours.
The result? A no-bake tart, with a crumbly base and creamy jam, to be cut with your hands. If you want to make it even more delicious, add a touch of shredded coconut, chocolate chips, or fresh fruit pieces. A no-bake dessert that everyone loves, simple and super scenic even in individual portions in silicone molds.
Perfect as a Sunday dessert, but also for a brunch or a last-minute snack. Easy, light, and convincing on every occasion.
