How To Make Chocolate Tart

Full instructions and measurements can always be found in the recipe card at the bottom of the post. This is a summary of the process to go along with the process photos.

The Crust:

• Add whole oreo cookies to your food processor – there’s no need to remove the white fillings first – and process into crumbs. Then add melted butter and process again until well combined.
• Transfer this to a 9-inch pie dish (sprayed with non-stick spray) and pat down firmly with the back of a spoon. Place into the fridge to set while you work on the filling.

The Filling:

• Break up chocolate and place it into a bowl. Heat up heavy cream to a simmer (you can do this in the microwave or on the stovetop) and then pour the cream over the chocolate making sure the chocolate is completely covered and let it sit for a minute.
• Whisk it up with a hand whisk until you have a thick chocolate sauce.
• Add in some mixed salted nuts and fold into the chocolate. Pour this out over your oreo pie crust and smooth down. Refrigerate for several hours until completely firm and set.
• Decorate with some grated chocolate shavings and serve!

Recipe Tips

Don’t let your cream come to a boil. It just needs to be heated to the point that it’s just beginning to simmer a little. You need it to be very hot so that it melts the chocolate but it should never boil.

You can either heat the cream in the microwave or on the stovetop. If you’re using the microwave then place the cream into a microwave safe dish or measuring jug and heat it in intervals keeping a close eye on it so that it doesn’t boil. If you’re heating it on the stovetop then give it a stir regularly and keep a close watch on it. Remove it the moment it reaches a simmer.

Roasted Salted Nuts: The saltiness of the nuts creates the perfect contrast to the sweetness of this tart. We used mixed nuts but any roasted salted nut will do fine, such as pecans, macadamias, almonds, peanuts etc.

Make It Dairy-Free

It’s very possible to make this chocolate tart dairy-free, you simply have to use a vegan butter product like Earth Balance or a dairy free margarine for the oreo cookie crust.

Use canned coconut cream or full fat canned coconut milk for the filling – coconut cream is better than coconut milk but as long as it’s full fat, both will work – and of course use a dairy free dark chocolate. Lindt has some dark chocolate that is dairy-free and works great in this dessert.

Make It Nut-Free

You can make this tart nut-free by leaving the nuts out altogether. Alternatively you can replace the nuts with something else like dried fruit.

Storing and Freezing

Keep it covered in the fridge where it will last for around 5 days. It’s ideal to keep this tart in the fridge as it will get a little soft at room temperature.

It is also freezer friendly if you want to freeze it. Let it thaw in the fridge and then serve as usual.
