Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 15 cookies Oreo cookies crushed
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
For the Chocolate Filling
  • 1.5 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
For the Whipped Topping
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 0.5 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
For Garnish (Optional)
  • 0.25 ounce chocolate shavings

Method
 

Prepare the Crust
  1. Combine the crushed Oreo cookies and melted butter in a small bowl; mix well until evenly moistened.
  2. Press the mixture firmly onto the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan.
  3. Refrigerate the crust while you prepare the filling.
Make the Chocolate Filling
  1. Pour 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Microwave for 1.5 to 2 minutes, or until hot but not boiling.
  2. Add the chocolate chips to the hot cream and whisk until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Refrigerate the chocolate mixture for at least one hour, or until it is cold and slightly thickened.
Prepare the Whipped Topping
  1. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of heavy cream, vanilla extract, and sugar.
  2. Cover and chill this mixture in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Assemble the Tart
  1. Once the cream mixture for the topping is chilled, beat it with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  2. Take out the chilled chocolate mixture and beat it on medium speed with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  3. Spread the chocolate filling evenly over the chilled Oreo crust.
  4. Spoon the whipped cream topping over the chocolate layer and spread it evenly.
  5. Refrigerate the tart for at least one hour, or until it is fully set.
  6. Garnish with chocolate shavings, if desired, before slicing and serving.

Notes

For best results, allow the chocolate filling to chill thoroughly before whipping; it needs to be very cold to achieve stiff peaks. This tart is best served chilled.
