Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 1.5 cups Oreo cookie crumbs Provides a sweet and crunchy base; substitute with graham cracker crumbs for a different flavor.
  • 6 tbsp Unsalted butter Binds the crust together; ensure it's melted for even mixing.
For the Filling
  • 1 cup Heavy whipping cream Adds rich creaminess to the tart; coconut cream is a great dairy-free substitute.
  • 2 cups Bittersweet chocolate, chopped The star of this dessert, offering a luxurious chocolate flavor; swap for dark chocolate for a bolder taste.
  • 0.25 cups Unsalted butter Enhances the smooth texture of the filling; cutting it into small pieces helps it melt more easily.

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • 9-inch tart pan
  • medium saucepan
  • Spatula

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of Oreo cookie crumbs with 6 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into a 9-inch tart pan, ensuring an even layer on the bottom and up the sides. Chill the crust in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes, allowing it to firm up and set.
  2. In a medium saucepan, heat 1 cup of heavy whipping cream over medium heat until it starts to simmer, being careful not to let it boil. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in 2 cups of finely chopped bittersweet chocolate and 1/4 cup of unsalted butter. Allow it to sit for a minute before stirring until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  3. Once the chocolate filling is ready, take the chilled Oreo crust from the refrigerator. Pour the luscious chocolate filling into the crust, using a spatula to smooth the surface evenly. Cover the tart loosely with plastic wrap and return it to the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until it’s set and firm enough to slice.
  4. After chilling, remove the Smooth No Bake Chocolate Tart from the refrigerator and gently unclip it from the tart pan. Prior to serving, you can garnish with chocolate curls, fresh berries, or a dusting of powdered sugar for a touch of elegance. Slice carefully and delight in the deliciously creamy chocolate goodness.

Notes

For best texture, refrigerate the tart overnight. Chop chocolate finely to ensure a lump-free filling and always use unsalted butter for a balanced flavor profile.
