Ingredients
Scale
- 25 Oreo cookies
- 7 tbsps (105 ml) unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups (360 ml) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
- 2 tbsps (30 ml) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (240 ml) mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries)
- 1 tsp (5 ml) powdered sugar
Instructions
- Crust Preparation: Pulverize chocolate sandwich cookies into fine, sandy consistency using a food processor, ensuring uniform texture.
- Crust Molding: Press cookie crumbs firmly into a 9-inch tart pan, creating a compact, smooth base that covers bottom and sides evenly.
- Filling Fusion: Combine heavy cream, dark chocolate, unsalted butter, and granulated sugar in a saucepan, melting ingredients over low heat while stirring continuously until achieving a glossy, smooth mixture.
- Cooling and Setting: Remove chocolate mixture from heat, allowing it to cool briefly, then pour gently over chilled crust, ensuring seamless coverage.
- Chilling and Solidifying: Refrigerate the tart for 3-4 hours or overnight, allowing filling to transform into a firm, luxurious texture.
- Elegant Finishing: Embellish with fresh raspberries or strawberries, dusting lightly with powdered sugar for a sophisticated presentation.
- Serving: Slice and serve chilled, revealing a decadent dessert with rich, creamy characteristics that promise to delight the palate.
Notes
- Chill Crust Properly: Refrigerate the cookie crust for at least 15-20 minutes to prevent crumbling and ensure a solid base for the chocolate filling.
- Control Chocolate Melting: Heat chocolate mixture on low heat, stirring constantly to avoid burning and achieve a smooth, glossy texture without separation.
- Patience with Setting: Allow the tart to set completely in the refrigerator for minimum 3-4 hours, preferably overnight, to guarantee a firm, slice-able consistency.
- Garnish Strategically: Add fresh berries and powdered sugar just before serving to maintain berry freshness and prevent sugar from dissolving or becoming soggy.
