Crust
- 1 ½ cups Oreo crumbs (about 24 cookies)
- 6 Tablespoons (85 g) butter, melted
Filling
- 1 ¼ cups (300 ml) heavy cream
- 2 cups (12 oz) bittersweet chocolate, chopped into similar size pieces
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Topping
- 2 pints (about 4 cups) fresh raspberries
- Confectioners’ sugar for dusting
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325℉ (163℃) to get it ready for baking the crust.
- Make Crust Mixture: Use a food processor to crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. Add the melted butter and pulse a few times to combine the mixture thoroughly.
- Press Crust into Pan: Transfer the crumb mixture to a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Firmly press the mixture evenly across the bottom and a little up the sides using the bottom of a measuring cup for an even layer.
- Bake Crust: Place the pan in the oven and bake the crust for 10 minutes at 325℉. After baking, let it cool completely before adding the filling.
- Heat Cream: In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, warm the heavy cream until it is scalding hot with tiny bubbles forming at the edges, but do not let it boil.
- Make Chocolate Ganache: Place the chopped bittersweet chocolate in a bowl. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit undisturbed for 4 to 5 minutes to melt. Add vanilla extract and stir gently until the ganache is smooth and glossy.
- Fill Tart Shell: Pour the smooth chocolate ganache into the cooled Oreo crust. Use an offset spatula to spread it out evenly in the tart pan.
- Cool Ganache: Let the tart cool on the counter for 2 to 3 hours or refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the ganache to set properly. Be aware that refrigeration may cause condensation.
- Add Raspberries and Serve: Arrange the fresh raspberries on top of the set ganache in a circular pattern, placing each berry close to the next. Lightly dust with confectioners’ sugar before serving for a beautiful presentation.
Notes
- Use a tart pan with a removable bottom to easily release the tart once set.
- Do not let the cream boil when heating to avoid separating the ganache.
- Letting ganache cool on the counter may take longer but prevents condensation compared to refrigerating.
- For an extra touch, you can garnish with fresh mint leaves along with the raspberries.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator and bring to room temperature before serving for best texture.
