Chocolate Ganache Tart
Ingredients
OREO CRUST:
- 1 ⅔ cups crushed Oreos
- ¼ cup salted butter melted
CHOCOLATE FILLING:
- 1 ⅓ cup heavy cream
- 6.8 oz dark chocolate bar chopped
- 4 large eggs
- 3 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
CHOCOLATE GANACHE GLAZE:
- 2 Tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 oz dark chocolate chopped
- 2 teaspoons corn syrup
FOR SERVING:
- Sea salt optional
Instructions
MAKE THE OREO CRUST:
- Move the oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Lightly spray an 8-inch tart pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine crushed Oreos and butter. Mix until well coated and the texture is like wet sand.
- Transfer the crust mixture to the bottom of the prepared tart pan and press down evenly.
- Bake for 10 minutes, until set.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
MAKE THE CHOCOLATE FILLING:
- Keep the oven heated to 350°F.
- Add the heavy cream to a large heat-proof bowl.
- Place it into the microwave and heat for 1 ½ minutes.
- Remove from the microwave and add in the chopped chocolate bars.
- Mix well until thoroughly combined and melted.
- Add in eggs, sugar, vanilla, and salt and whisk to combine.
- Pour the filling mixture into the prebaked crust.
BAKE AND COOL:
- Bake the tart for 35 minutes, until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
- Once baked, remove the tart from the oven and place it onto a wire cooling rack to cool completely for about 1 hour.
MAKE CHOCOLATE GANACHE GLAZE:
- Add heavy cream to a small heat-proof bowl and heat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds.
- Add in the chopped chocolate. Mix until smooth and melted.
- Add in the water and corn syrup and mix to combine.
- Pour the glaze over the tart, then cover and place the tart into the fridge to chill until the glaze has set for about 2 hours.
TO FINISH:
- Slice and serve with a sprinkling of sea salt (optional).
Notes
- I wouldn’t recommend using chocolate darker than 72%, as doing so will make the tart bitter and unpleasant.
- If the heavy cream doesn’t fully melt the chocolate chips for the glaze, don’t worry. Simply pop the bowl in the microwave for 30 seconds and give it a good stir.
- When adding the corn syrup to the glaze, it may separate slightly. That’s okay. Stir vigorously or use an immersion blender until completely smooth and combined.
- Top the finished tart with flaked sea salt for an extra element to offset the chocolatey richness.
