Ingredients
Oreo Crust
- 24 double stuffed Oreos
- 4 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
Dark Chocolate Ganache
- 12 oz dark chocolate
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature
Garnish
- 2 pints fresh raspberries
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Start by finely crushing the 24 double stuffed Oreos to form a crumbly texture. You can use a food processor or place them in a sealed bag and crush with a rolling pin. Transfer the crushed Oreos to a mixing bowl and combine with the 4 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter, mixing until the crumbs are evenly coated and hold together when pressed.
- Form the tart shell: Press the Oreo and butter mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a tart pan, ensuring even thickness throughout. Place the tart shell in the refrigerator to chill and set while you prepare the ganache.
- Make the ganache: Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place in a heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, heat the 1 cup of heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let sit for a minute to soften the chocolate, then stir gently until the mixture is smooth and glossy. Add the 4 tablespoons of room temperature unsalted butter and continue stirring until fully incorporated and silky.
- Assemble the tart: Pour the prepared ganache into the chilled Oreo crust, smoothing the surface with a spatula. Let the tart set in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until the ganache is firm.
- Garnish and serve: Just before serving, arrange the fresh raspberries decoratively on top of the set ganache. Serve chilled for the best texture and flavor experience.
Notes
- Ensure the ganache cools slightly before adding the butter to avoid separation.
- The tart can be made a day ahead and refrigerated overnight for more developed flavors.
- For a firmer crust, you can bake the Oreo crust at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes before adding the ganache, allowing it to cool completely.
- Use good quality dark chocolate (around 70% cocoa) for the best flavor.
- To make it gluten-free, use gluten-free chocolate sandwich cookies instead of Oreos.
