Brief history of the recipe
The cookie tart is a popular recipe, often used to bring a touch of joy to festive days or gatherings with friends. It combines the crunchy texture of cookies with the delicacy of a cream and the freshness of fruits, creating a perfect harmony of flavors. It is a versatile dessert that can be adapted according to the season or preferences, and today we will use frozen fruits to enjoy a wonderful taste at any time of the year.

Step by step: Preparing the tart

1. Thawing the fruits:
Start by thawing the frozen fruits. Place them in a sieve and let them drain well from excess water. It is important to remove as much of this water as possible to avoid diluting the cream.

2. Preparing the cookie crust:
In a bowl, add the butter, sugar, milk, and a pinch of salt. Place the bowl over low heat and stir constantly until the butter and sugar are completely melted. Here, it is essential not to let the mixture boil, but just to heat it to achieve a fine texture.

3. Grinding the cookies:
Grind the cookies in a food processor or place them in a bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Once they have a fine texture, add the warm liquid from the butter bowl and mix well with a wooden spatula. Make sure all the crumbs are well incorporated to obtain an even mixture.

4. Forming the tart:
Grease a tart pan with a little oil to prevent sticking. Spread the cookie mixture evenly over the bottom and sides of the pan, pressing well to form a compact crust. Bake at 175 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes or until it becomes slightly golden. Let it cool completely.

5. Preparing the cream:
In a bowl, mix the cherry syrup with 1/4 of the liquid cream. Whip until well combined. Do not expect this mixture to become very firm, but it will gain a slight consistency.

6. Whipping the cream:
In another bowl, whip the remaining cream until it becomes firm. Then, gradually add the cherry syrup mixture, continuing to whip until everything is well combined. This is the perfect time to add a sprinkle of powdered sugar if you want a sweeter cream.

7. Preparing the gelatin:
Hydrate the gelatin in a little cold water for 5 minutes. Then, dissolve the gelatin over low heat, without letting it boil. Once the gelatin is completely dissolved, add it to the whipped cream and mix well to incorporate.

8. Assembling the tart:
Add some of the drained fruits to the cream, gently folding with a spatula. Then, pour the cream over the cookie crust, leveling it evenly. Decorate with the remaining fruits, either whole or cut, as desired.

9. Cooling the tart:
Cover the tart with plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours, so the cream sets perfectly. If you have time, it is recommended to leave it even longer for an ideal texture.

Serving and variations
The cookie crust tart with assorted fruits is served cold, making it a refreshing dessert perfect for warm days. You can accompany it with chocolate sauce, vanilla ice cream, or a glass of white wine. Additionally, if you want a more exotic version, you can try adding mango or pineapple to the fruit mix.

Useful tips:
- Fruit mix: Use quality frozen fruits for optimal taste. You can experiment with different combinations, such as blueberries, raspberries, or peaches.
- Cookie crust: Instead of regular cookies, you can use digestive biscuits or even cocoa cookies for a more intense flavor.
- Cream: If you don’t have gelatin, you can use pudding powder instead, following the instructions on the package.

Frequently asked questions:
- Can I use fresh fruits?: Absolutely! Fresh fruits bring an intense flavor and a crunchy texture.
- How can I sweeten the cream more?: Gradually add powdered sugar until you reach the desired level of sweetness.
- How long does the tart last?: The tart can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, well covered.
