Ingredients
- 24 cookies Oreo cookies
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter
- 10 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Step 1: Place 24 Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed. Melt 6 tbsp unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat, then pour over the crushed Oreos and stir until combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to set the crust.
- Step 2: Heat 1 cup heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and pour over 10 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir gently until smooth and glossy. Pour the ganache over the chilled crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set.
- Step 3: Using a chilled bowl and beaters, whip 1 cup heavy whipping cream with 2 tbsp granulated sugar on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes. Dollop or pipe the whipped cream generously over the set ganache tart before serving.
