Course Dessert
Cuisine American
Servings 4 people

Equipment

  • Food Processor
  • Tart Pan
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Small Saucepan
  • Wire Rack

Ingredients
  

  • 20 Oreo cookies
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons black cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Crush the Oreo cookies in a food processor until they form fine crumbs. Mix the crumbs with the melted butter until evenly coated.
  • Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 7-inch tart pan. Bake for 8 minutes, then let the crust cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Place the chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just starts to simmer.
  • Pour the hot cream over the chocolate. Add the black cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Let it sit for 1 minute, then stir until smooth and fully combined.
  • Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set.

Notes

Chill the tart uncovered for the first hour to avoid condensation on the surface. Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water for clean slices. If the filling sets too firm, let the tart sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving.
