On days like these, when it’s so hot and humid, I can’t even think of turning on the oven. This is why I make tons of no-bake desserts recently. This next tart is a great no bake dessert that’s so easy to make and simply delicious.

This is a no bake coffee mascarpone tart with chocolate filling, and you won’t believe how easy it is to make. The crust is made of biscuits and butter, filled with chocolate ganache all topped with drizzled of vanilla mascarpone cream and coffee mascarpone cream.

It’s the perfect summer dessert – cold, easy to make and definitely a crowd pleaser everyone will just love!
