Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 2 cups Chocolate Cookie Crumbs (Crushed Oreos work well)
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter (Melted)
Filling
- 1 cup Heavy Cream (Or full-fat coconut milk for a dairy-free option)
- 8 ounces Semi-Sweet Chocolate (High-quality recommended, chopped)
- 1/4 cup Powdered Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (Optional but recommended)
- 1 pinch Salt
Garnish
- 1 cup Whipped Cream
- 1/2 cup Chocolate Shavings
- 1 cup Fresh Berries (Raspberries or strawberries work well)
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs with melted unsalted butter. Mix until the crumbs are fully coated and the mixture holds together when pressed. Firmly press this mixture into the bottom and sides of a tart pan to create an even crust.
- Make the chocolate filling: Heat the heavy cream in a medium saucepan over medium heat just until it begins to simmer, then immediately remove from heat. Pour the hot cream over the chopped semi-sweet chocolate in a separate bowl and whisk gently until completely smooth. Stir in powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until fully incorporated.
- Assemble the tart: Pour the smooth chocolate filling evenly into the prepared crust. Gently shake or tap the tart pan on the counter to spread the filling evenly and remove any air bubbles.
- Chill the tart: Cover the tart with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the filling to set firmly.
- Garnish and serve: After chilling, carefully remove the tart from the pan. Top with whipped cream, sprinkle with chocolate shavings, and scatter fresh berries on top. Slice and serve chilled for the best indulgent experience.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with full-fat coconut milk and use dairy-free butter alternatives for the crust.
- Ensure to chill the tart adequately for the filling to set properly; overnight chilling yields the best texture.
- High-quality semi-sweet chocolate is key for a rich and smooth filling.
- Press crust mixture firmly into the pan to avoid crumbling when serving.
- Fresh berries can be varied based on preference or seasonal availability.
