Ingredients

Crust

  • 270 g cookies 24 cookies
  • 85 g unsalted butter melted (6 tbsp)

Ganache Filling

  • 170 g bittersweet chocolate coarsely chopped (1 cup or 6 oz)
  • 170 g milk chocolate coarsely chopped (1 cup or 6 oz)
  • 240 ml heavy cream 1 cup
  • 56 g unsalted butter cut into small pieces (¼ cup or 4 tbsp)

Instructions

Make the Crust

  • Place the cookies, including their filling, in a food processor and pulse until you have fine, even crumbs. Transfer the crumbs to a medium bowl and stir in the melted butter until everything is evenly moistened.
  • Press the mixture firmly over the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch (23 cm) tart pan, creating an even crust. Place it in the fridge for about 30 minutes to firm up before filling.
  • For a crisper crust, I highly recommend baking it instead. Bake the crust in a preheated 350°F (180°C) oven for 5 to 6 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before adding the filling. This extra step gives the crust a firmer, pleasantly crisp texture rather than leaving it too soft.

Make the Chocolate Filling

  • Place the chopped bittersweet chocolate and milk chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl and set aside.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring the heavy cream and butter to a gentle boil. Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately pour the hot mixture over the chopped chocolate.
  • Let everything sit undisturbed for 1 minute. Then use a rubber spatula to slowly stir until the chocolate has completely melted and the ganache is smooth and glossy. If a few pieces of chocolate remain, warm the mixture in the microwave for several seconds at a time, stirring between each interval, until perfectly smooth.
  • Pour the chocolate ganache over the chilled Oreo crust and place the tart in the fridge until the filling is completely set, at least 4 hours or preferably overnight.
  • This tart can easily be prepared a day ahead, making it a lovely dessert to have ready when guests arrive.
  • Once covered well, the tart will keep in the fridge for 4 to 5 days.
