Ingredients

  • 25 Oreo cookies
  • 5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar, more if needed
  • 1 cup berries (blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries)
  • 1 tsp powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Combine the melted butter and Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until the mixture is very fine. Alternatively, use a pastry cutter to crush the cookies finely.
  2. Step 2: Press the Oreo crumb mixture evenly into a 9-inch tart pan, applying pressure to the bottom and sides using your fingers, a spatula, or the back of a flat measuring cup. Refrigerate the crust while you prepare the filling.
  3. Step 3: In a pot, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, heavy cream, unsalted butter, and granulated sugar. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring continuously until everything is melted and smooth. Avoid boiling.
  4. Step 4: Taste the chocolate filling and add more sugar if desired, then remove from heat promptly once dissolved.
  5. Step 5: Pour the chocolate filling over the chilled Oreo crust. Let it cool at room temperature for about 10 minutes, then refrigerate for around 4 hours or overnight to set.
  6. Step 6: Before serving, top the tart with fresh berries and sprinkle them with powdered sugar. Serve and enjoy your delicious no-bake chocolate tart!

Tips & Variations

  • For a different crust, try using graham crackers or chocolate wafers instead of Oreos.
  • Add a pinch of sea salt to the chocolate ganache to enhance the flavor contrast.
  • Use a mix of berries for a colorful and fresh topping.
  • If you prefer a sweeter filling, increase the sugar gradually to taste.

Storage

Store the tart covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat slightly at room temperature before serving if desired, but it is typically best enjoyed chilled.

How to Serve

A round tart with three visible layers sits on a white marbled surface: the bottom layer is a dark, crumbly crust; the middle layer is a smooth, glossy dark chocolate filling covering half of the tart; the top layer on the other half is piled with fresh blueberries and raspberries, dusted lightly with powdered sugar.

FAQs

Can I make this tart ahead of time?

Yes, this tart can be prepared a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator to allow the ganache to set properly. This also helps the flavors meld together.

What can I use instead of heavy cream?

If you don’t have heavy cream, you can substitute with an equal amount of full-fat coconut milk for a dairy-free option, which will also add a subtle coconut flavor.

  • 5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Chocolate Ganache Filling

  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar (more if needed)

Topping

  • 1 cup berries (blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries)
  • 1 tsp powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oreo Crust: Combine the melted butter and Oreo cookies using a food processor with pulsing or a pastry cutter until the mixture is very fine and crumbly. Press the Oreo mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch tart pan using your fingers, a spatula, or the back of a flat measuring cup. Refrigerate the crust while you prepare the filling.
  2. Make the Chocolate Ganache Filling: In a pot over medium-low heat, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, heavy cream, unsalted butter, and granulated sugar.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure the crust is pressed firmly to avoid crumbling when slicing.
  • Adjust sugar in the ganache to your preferred level of sweetness.
  • This tart can be made a day ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator.
  • Use any combination of fresh berries or swap with other fruits based on seasonality and preference.
  • To soften the crust for easier slicing, let the tart sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving.
