For the Crust:
- 24 Oreo cookies
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
For the Filling:
- 1½ cups heavy cream
- 12 ounces dark chocolate chopped
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Topping:
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 1 cup fresh berries raspberries or strawberries
Prepare the Crust:
Pulse Oreo cookies in a food processor until they turn into fine crumbs with no big pieces left.
Mix cookie crumbs with melted butter and sugar until they look like wet sand and stick together.
Press cookie mixture firmly into tart pan bottom and sides, packing it down with a measuring cup.
Pop the crust in the fridge for 15 minutes while you whip up the chocolate filling.
Make the Filling:
Heat heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until small bubbles appear around the edges, then remove.
Add chopped dark chocolate and vanilla extract to the hot cream and let it sit for two minutes.
Stir the ganache gently with a spatula until the chocolate melts completely and becomes smooth, glossy, and totally combined.
Pour warm ganache into chilled crust, spread evenly, and tap pan to get rid of air bubbles.
Refrigerate the tart for at least 4 hours or overnight until it's firm enough to slice perfectly.
-
Don't rush the chilling time—your tart needs those full hours to set up properly for clean slicing.
-
Hot water on your knife between slices gives you those beautiful, professional cuts without cracks or mess.
-
Keep the covered tart in the fridge up to five days, but add the whipped cream right before serving.
-
You can freeze this without toppings for 2 months—just thaw overnight in the fridge before decorating.
