Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (such as Oreos or any chocolate cookies)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
For the Chocolate Filling:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate (chopped)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
For Topping (Optional):
- Whipped cream
- Chocolate shavings
- Fresh berries (such as raspberries or strawberries)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Stir until the crumbs are evenly coated. Firmly press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan, using the back of a measuring cup or your fingers to create an even layer. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill and set while you prepare the filling.
- Make the Chocolate Filling: Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just starts to simmer, removing it from heat just before boiling. Add the chopped semi-sweet chocolate to the hot cream and let it sit for 2-3 minutes to soften. Whisk until the mixture becomes smooth and fully combined. Stir in the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and pinch of salt until incorporated well.
- Assemble the Tart: Remove the chilled crust from the refrigerator. Pour the smooth chocolate filling into the prepared crust and spread evenly with a spatula. Cover the tart with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is completely set.
- Serve: Once the tart is fully chilled and set, remove it from the refrigerator. Garnish with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, and fresh berries if desired. Slice the tart and serve chilled for a decadent dessert experience.
Notes
- Use high-quality semi-sweet chocolate for the best flavor.
- If you prefer a sweeter tart, increase the powdered sugar slightly in the filling.
- The tart must be chilled for at least 4 hours to ensure the filling sets properly.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free chocolate cookies for the crust.
