Ingredients
Scale
For the Oreo Crust:
- 1 (14.3 oz) package of Oreos (or gluten-free chocolate cookies)
- ½ cup (1 stick) butter, melted
For the Ganache Filling:
- 12 oz high-quality dark chocolate, chopped
- ¾ cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp sea salt
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
For the Chocolate Covered Strawberries:
- 6 oz dark chocolate, melted
- 1 quart fresh strawberries, washed and dried
For the Whipped Cream (Optional):
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tbsp sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Crush Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor or zip-top bag with a rolling pin. Mix with melted butter and press into a 10-inch tart pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then let cool.
- Make the Ganache Filling: Heat heavy cream in a microwave or saucepan until simmering. Pour over chopped dark chocolate and let sit for 2 minutes. Stir until smooth. Whisk in vanilla, sea salt, and beaten eggs.
- Bake the Tart: Pour the ganache mixture into the cooled crust and bake for 30-35 minutes until edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly. Let cool for 15 minutes, then refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
- Prepare the Chocolate Covered Strawberries: Melt dark chocolate in 30-second microwave intervals, stirring between each. Dip the cut side of each strawberry into the melted chocolate, then place them on the chilled tart.
- Final Touches: Drizzle with extra melted chocolate, dust with cocoa powder, or decorate with whipped cream. Let the tart sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving.
