Strawberry Chocolate Ganache Tart with Cookie Crust (No Bake).
You may recall seeing this dessert I made for our Valentine’s Couple Camp Party. I promised then that I would share the recipe.
I have to tell you… this dessert is not only beautiful and elegant looking, it is so simple, uses only five basic ingredients, and is possibly the most luscious chocolate dessert I have EVER tasted. And I’m really not exaggerating. I absolutely loved this tart!
I typically make dessert, but just taste enough to know it is okay to serve. This one, however… I not only had the evening of our party, I ate the last leftover slice!
I am certain I will make this tart again.. and again. It is a great dessert for ANY occasion, any season, anybody. I would take this to a summer picnic. I would make this for a birthday “cake.” I would make this for a Christmas dinner dessert. I would make this for ANY reason.
I originally came across this recipe posted by Mary at HomeisWheretheBoatis, and I only tweaked it slightly. Thanks for sharing Mary!
I so hope you will give this a try, and I cannot wait to hear how you like it!
Strawberry Chocolate Ganache Tart with Oreo Cookie Crust (No Bake)
- 1 pkg. Oreo Cookies (approx. 32 cookies)
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
- 12 oz. of Your Favorite Chocolate (I used Baker’s German Sweet)
- 1 1/2 cups Heavy Cream
- Strawberries
Directions:
- Place Oreo cookies in a gallon size Ziploc bag. Then place entire bag in another bag to double (so you can crush them without making a mess!) Crush Oreo cookies using a heavy rolling pin, your hands, or whatever way you prefer to smash them fine enough to make a crust from. (The original recipe calls for pulsing them in a food processor, so feel free to do that if you have one.)
- Pour melted butter into the bag. Zip to close again and completely incorporate the cookie crumbs and butter using your hands. Pour crumb and butter mixture into an 11″ tart pan. Pat onto bottom and up sides of tart pan. Refrigerate to firm up for one hour before preparing and adding filling.
- To make filling, break up chocolate and place in a heat-proof bowl. Bring heavy cream to a boil in a small sauce pan. As soon as it boils, pour over chocolate. Let sit for a couple minutes to soften the chocolate, then slowly whisk until until smooth and fully incorporated. Pour into chilled, firm crust. Refrigerate for 4-6 hours or overnight.
- Garnish with strawberries (red raspberries would amazing too if you prefer!). Drizzle melted chocolate over all if desired. I also sprinkled just a tiny bit of sea salt flakes, which gave it an amazing, but subtle taste burst. And then – any cookie crust crumbs that fall off when you remove the tart bottom from the sides of the pan can be thrown on top too.
Enjoy! I know you will!
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
