Description

Pineapple Fridge Tart is a refreshing no bake dessert that combines tropical pineapple with a creamy, smooth filling and a naturally sweet date walnut crust. This make ahead dessert is simple to prepare, perfectly balanced, and ideal for warm weather or anytime you want an easy yet impressive treat without turning on the oven.


Ingredients

Base

10 medium Medjool dates, pitted and softened

2 cups walnuts, tightly packed

Filling

1 cup crushed pineapple, well drained

2 tablespoons pineapple juice

2 tablespoons agar agar powder

¼ cup cold water

2 cups cream cheese, softened

½ cup granulated sweetener

1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold


Instructions

Place the pitted dates and walnuts into a food processor and process until a moist, sticky crumb forms that holds together when pressed

Line the base and sides of a springform pan with baking paper and secure the ring in place

Press the date walnut mixture firmly and evenly into the base of the pan and refrigerate while preparing the filling

Combine the agar agar powder and cold water in a small saucepan and allow it to hydrate briefly

Heat the agar mixture gently while whisking until fully dissolved and smooth, then remove from heat

Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth, then mix in the sweetener until fluffy

Gently mix the crushed pineapple and reserved pineapple juice into the cream cheese mixture

Slowly pour the warm agar agar mixture into the filling while mixing continuously

Whip the cold heavy cream until soft peaks form

Fold the whipped cream gently into the pineapple filling until smooth and airy

Pour the filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top evenly

Tap the pan lightly to release air bubbles, then cover and refrigerate until fully set

Remove the tart from the pan, slice, and serve chilled

Notes

Drain the crushed pineapple thoroughly to prevent excess moisture from affecting the set

Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing to avoid lumps

Work quickly once the agar agar is heated, as it sets faster than gelatin

Chilling the crust before filling helps keep layers clean and firm

Use a warm knife wiped clean between slices for neat presentation

Sweetness can be adjusted depending on the pineapple used

Allow sufficient chilling time for best texture and flavor
