No Bake Sour Cream Cherry Tort

No Bake Sour Cream Cherry Tort


I've been in love with this TORT since I was 15 years old living in a dorm while attending Hotel Academy.

We didn't have kitchens or kitchenettes in our dorm rooms, but we had a fridge on every floor.

My friends and I used to make this tort often during the warm months when fresh fruit was in season......sometimes we made it during winter months using canned fruit we brought from home.

Few days ago I picked last of the cherries so I figured it was time to make.....Sour Cream Cherry Tort.....the perfect summer dessert.

No baking....no heat from the oven.....very light......refreshing......
