This easy Raspberry Tart recipe has simply made my life so much easier! Made with pie crust, fresh raspberries, and raspberry jam, this is a simple and delicious dessert that takes no time to prepare. It’s just as tasty as a traditional tart but with a lot less hassle. I love to serve it for holidays and family get togethers, and everyone always asks for the recipe.
What’s in This Raspberry Tart Recipe?
I asked myself, why go through the hassle of making a full raspberry pie with traditional filling, when I could just use a recipe hack? All you have to do is bake the pie crust, spread on a layer of jam, and then start piling on the fresh berries and toppings. It’s just as pretty and just as tasty as a regular raspberry pie, but it’s infinitely easier. I’m a big fan.
- Pie Crust: Use a fully-baked refrigerated pie crust from the store, or get a little fancy and make your own homemade pie crust.
- Raspberries: A quart of fresh raspberries makes this tart so fresh and flavorful.
- Sugar: Helps bring out the juiciness of the raspberries.
- Raspberry Jam: Works like glute to attach the raspberries to the crust.
- Whipped Cream: Use our stabilized whipped cream recipe for a fresh option, or simplify things even more and use Cool Whip from the store.
Variations on an Easy Raspberry Tart
This raspberry tart is sooooo good. I love the fresh raspberries and raspberry jam for a summer dessert. But the beautiful thing about this recipe is that you can switch it up and use your favorite berry instead. Try a blackberry tart, a blueberry tart, or a strawberry tart. Pair the fresh berries with their matching jam and you’ve got a handful of easy desserts to try throughout the season!
How to Store and Reheat
Store this raspberry tart in an airtight container at room temperature (without the whipped cream) for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The whipped cream will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
How to Freeze
Freeze this raspberry tart whole or cut into individual slices tightly wrapped in 2 layers of plastic wrap and 1 layer of aluminum foil for up to 4 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before enjoying.
Serving Suggestions
We love this raspberry tart with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, and mint leaves. It’s also great with roasted sliced almonds, chocolate sauce, or a drizzle of Chambord. For a cocktail pairing, we recommend a raspberry lemon drop or raspberry sorbet float.
Notes from the Test Kitchen
It doesn’t get much simpler than this easy raspberry tart recipe. Prebaked pie crust, store-bought raspberry jam, and fresh raspberries make a beautiful dessert fit for a queen! Your guests will never know it was this easy!

Like the recipe, but the site is so full of advertising that it is very difficult to use. Very frustrating to say the least.
So sorry!! Ads are unfortunately part of the necessary evil of running a free website!
