“Blueberry dessert” is what over 14k people search on google for every year during Summer. And for good reason blueberry flavoured desserts are superior. And this tart is no exception. Its composed of a blueberry biscuit base, topped with a velvety smooth refreshing blueberry mousse filling and decorated with flowers. Making it the perfect tart for a celebration.

This blueberry dessert with cream cheese is a cross between tart and cheesecake. I also refer to this tart as my ‘blueberry mousse cheesecake’. The cream cheese adds stability and creaminess to the tart.
Making it a tart tin makes it perfect for parties and events. Vegan or not, this tart is a fan favorite among many friends and family. It is just SO smooth and delicious!

Expert Baking Tips for this no bake blueberry mousse tart
Although the recipe for this simple vegan chocolate tart is super easy, here are just a few expert tips i'd recommend:
- Ensure your dates are relatively soft before blending, if your dates are tough soak them in water for around ½ hr then drain and add to the rest of the ingredients.
- Cashew paste works really well here, it's essentially the same as using soaked cashews but the process is a lot faster. So I would highly recommend it. But if you cant get your hands on any make sure to soak your cashews overnight (around hrs) then drain and blend with the rest of the tart filling ingredients.
- Make sure to drain your tofu to remove any excess water, as any added extra liquid will ruin the consistency of the tart.

Step by step instructions for this vegan blueberry mousse recipe
Blueberry tart crust recipe
Begin by preparing your tart tin by greasing and lightly flouring its sides. Then make the tart base by blending the biscuits into a fine crumb.
Pour in your melted butter and blend again - it should be a sandlike texture. Pour into the prepared tart tin making sure to fill all the crevices.

Blueberry cheesecake mousse recipe
Mix all the filling ingredients into a bowl until smooth. If your using soaked cashews in place of cashew paste, make sure you have fully drained them before blending in a food processor with the rest of the mousse ingredients.

Transfer the mousse filling onto the biscuit layer and smooth it out so it's level. To achieve the spiral design on top you will need a cake turntable and offset spatula/butter knife/spoon. Starting from the outside work your way into the center of the tart by simultaneously spinning the turntable slowly and moving your chosen utensil around the tart.

Set in the fridge for ½ hr and decorate with flowers/blueberries or whatever you fancy or just enjoy it as it is.
Non-vegan alternative
If you don't want to make this cheesecake vegan simply substitute the vegan cream cheese for normal cream cheese.
