    This incredibly easy, no-bake chocolate tart is made with a simple Oreo crust and rich chocolate ganache filling made with both milk and dark chocolates. You won’t be able to eat just one piece!

    If you’ve followed me for awhile, then you know that chocolate is my guilty pleasure. I really can’t get enough of the stuff no matter what the dessert is – whether in brownie bites, French silk pie, or flourless hazelnut chocolate cake, I truly love it all.

    This no bake chocolate tart tastes like a dream and is so easy to make. This crust is made with a simple mixture of Oreo crumbs and butter, which you can never go wrong with, and for the filling I use my favorite truffle recipe as a base. It’s dense and creamy and made with both milk and dark chocolates to create a more complex flavor.

    This is an already impressive-looking tart, but you can upgrade it by adding garnishes on top like fresh strawberries or raspberries, chocolate shavings, or cocoa powder, or by adding fresh banana slices or chopped toasted nuts in the bottom.

    How to make this no bake chocolate tart

    1. Make the crust. Pulse the Oreos with their filling in a food processor until they are very finely ground. In a bowl, combine the melted butter with the Oreo crumbs and press firmly and evenly into a tart pan. Then, put the crust in the freezer for at least 30 minutes to chill.
      • Alternative method: You can also bake the crust for 5-6 minutes in a 350°F oven to make it crunchier. I prefer doing this when I have the time, but if you skip this step the crust will still solidify well in the refrigerator.
    2. Make the filling. Put the chocolate in a heat-proof bowl. Boil the cream and butter in a saucepan and pour over the chocolate. Allow the chocolate to melt for about a minute before you use a whisk or spatula to mix together to completely melt. Pour the filling into the chilled crust.
    3. Refrigerate. Refrigerate the chocolate tart until set, about 4 hours should do the trick. Garnish were fruit or chocolate if desired.

    See? I told you it was easy :).

    Tips for making no bake chocolate tart

    • Bake the crust if you can. While I realize it makes this tart not completely “no-bake,” it only needs to bake for about 5 minutes or so and enhances the structure of the crust. But if you skip this step, don’t worry – the crust will still set up and taste amazing.
    • Chop the chocolate. If using chocolate bars for the filling, chop or break up the bars into small pieces before pouring the cream over it. This will make it easier to melt the chocolate.
    • Microwave the filling if necessary. If the chocolate doesn’t all completely melt once you pour the cream on it, put the bowl in the microwave for 20 second increments to melt, stirring each time.
    • Use full-fat cream. When preparing any chocolate ganache, you want to use full-fat cream so it sets up properly and has an ultra-creamy texture.

    No-Bake Chocolate Tart

    This easy no-bake tart has a simple Oreo crust and rich and creamy chocolate ganache filling.

    Prep Time 30 minutes
    Chill time 30 minutes
    YIELD 1 9-inch (23cm) tart
    Author Stephanie @ Pretty.Simple.Sweet.

    Ingredients

    Oreo Crust:

    • 24 (270g) Oreo cookies
    • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted

    Ganache filling:

    • 1 cup (170g, 6 oz.) coarsely chopped bittersweet chocolate
    • 1 cup (170g, 6 oz.) coarsely chopped milk chocolate
    • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
    • ¼ cup (56g) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

    Instructions

    1. To make the crust: Pulse Oreo cookies, with filling, in a food processor until finely ground. Transfer crumbs to a medium bowl, add melted butter, and mix until combined and moistened. Press the mixture onto the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch (23cm) tart pan. Place it in the fridge for 30 minutes to firm up before adding the filling (or before baking the crust). If possible, I recommend to bake the crust in a 350F/180C preheated oven for 5-6 minutes, then let it cool completely on a wire rack before adding the filling. This will make the crust more crisp and less soft.
    2. To make the filling: In a medium heatproof bowl, place chopped bittersweet and milk chocolate. Set aside. In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring the heavy cream and butter to a low boil. Remove from the heat and pour mixture over the chocolate. Let stand for 1 minute. Using a rubber spatula, stir mixture until melted and smooth (if not completely melted, heat in the microwave for several seconds and stir, until melted). Pour mixture over chilled Oreo crust and refrigerate until set, at least 4 hours or overnight. You can make the tart a day ahead of time.
    3. Tart will keep, covered well, for up to 4-5 days in the fridge.

      Thanks for the recipe! I tried but not as presentable as yours. Can you advice on how to make the filling with no bubble on top, as smooth as yours? Looking forward to your reply! By the way, i shared my tart on my social media, many friends asked for recipe and i shared you blog link with them! 🙂 love your website! 😀

        Hi Valerie! Thank you so much! 🙂 Next time, try to stir the filling steadily and gently rather than briskly and vigorously, which will minimize the amount of bubbling (although you can’t avoid bubbles completely). You can also use garnishes such as grated chocolate to hide the imperfections 🙂

          You can also try tapping the bottom of the tart tin, or try lightly tapping it on the benchtop, to encourage the bubbles to rise to the top, and then smooth them out once they’ve risen.

          Using a blowtorch ( You can buy the little ones for torching creme brulee on Amazon), run over the surface staying 3 inches away. This will remove all bubbles and make the surface shiny.

          Mine didn’t have any bubbles. I put the heavy cream and butter in a glass measuring cup and put it in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time for a total of 90 seconds. It came out absolutely perfect! Shiny and beautiful glaze like texture! I’ve been doing this with a lot of recipes that calls for stirring something on the stove in a pot. Saves time, stress to your arm and comes out so much better. No burning, bubbles, etc.

        It should be ok to add the chocolate filling to a cold crust, is that what you’ve meant? At room temperature the filling would be too soft, so I don’t recommend it. For more shine and a chewier texture, you can add a bit of corn syrup.

I’m afraid I went against your advice and dared to freeze it (I was having guests the minute I returned back from holiday so needed a quick and tasty pud to freeze) and it turned out perfect! Defrosted fine and tasted soo yummy 🙂 No soggy bottom in sight- it if anyone else is going to freeze theirs just make sure you double wrap in foil first, then cling film. Stops the moisture spoiling the smooth top and getting to the crust!

        Hi Bailey, using only bittersweet chocolate makes the ganache more stiff. Just leave the tart at room temperature for a while (15 minutes or more) until it’s soft enough to cut.

        Hi Taylor, 10 hours sound ok, and it should have set. Heavy whipping cream (30+% fat) is what you need to use. Did you add the butter as well? What kind of chocolate did you use? Maybe the % cocoa was low.

      do you use bake paper to line the bottom of the dish? I’m afraid that cutting the tart would damage the dish surface so I’m thinking about lining it beforehand…not sure, however, what it looks like once the tin is removed.

        Hi Anna, it depends on the dish you’re using, I don’t line the bottom of the tart pan with parchment paper (I only do this when I make cakes, so it’s easy to remove them from the pan), since I’m using a tart pan with a removable bottom.

      Hello,
      This tart looks delicious and I really want to give it a go for a dinner party at home. I am new to cooking and baking so I have a few quick questions; what chocolate do you use for the filling, cooking chocolate or just the regular milk chocolates we get on the shelves? For the bittersweet chocolate can we use lindtt dark chocolate? And if yes what percentage would you suggest? If you could tell me what brand of chocolates I use? Also there’s no sugar in the filling will it be sweet enough?
      Thanks in advance 🙂

        Hi Nimal, you need to use chocolate bars, both for the milk chocolate and dark chocolate. Ghirardelli, Scharffen Berger or Lindt are great, but you can just use your favorite brand. Dark/bittersweet/semisweet chocolate would work. 54%-60% cocoa is great.

        Hi Susan, because the crust is buttery, it should come out rather easily. Try to run a knife gently around the edges if possible. Usually what works is hot water, so you can rub the outside of the pan with a hot towel.

          You can try baking the crust for a few minutes. Then let it cool and add the filling. It should help a bit with that. If it’s still crumbly, add a bit more butter next time.

      That seems like a lot of butter for the Ganache! I use a recipe from a Café Pasqual cookbook that only uses 1 Tbs butter. It calls for 1 tsp vanilla. Sometimes I add 1 tsp Kahlua. I use 12 oz 60% chocolate. Even semi-sweet chocolate is too sweet for my taste. (but I eat 85% chocolate!). I often triple the Ganache recipe and make two tarts.
      I’m lazy, so I just dump the ganache ingredients in a bowl and microwave 2 min, then stir. For triple recipe, after stirring, add another minute, then stir, repeat if needed. I also buy a premade Oreo cookie crust. I usually let it chill in the fridge overnight, then let it sit out 4-6 hours before serving. I like it better at room temp. This is now the ultimate easy recipe!

      I’ve also served the ganache, warm, over warm chocolate cake, with a little vanilla ice-cream! That is ooohh sooo goood! Beats the heck out of frosting!

      Hi Shiran! Thank you for the recipe & it’s quite easy to make for a beginner like me 😊 one problem I faced is with the chocolate. I used couverture dark chocolate 72%. I put the heavy cream incorporated with butter into the chocolate (I let it sit for a minute before stirring) And after stirring for a while somehow the chocolate became oily. Because i couldnt separate the oil from the chocolate, I put the filling in the crust & put it in the fridge to see how it turned out. The chocolate set but there were big white “islands” in the surface. What did I do wrong?

      Hi
      Would it be possible to make this in whipping cream instead of heavy cream?

        Whipping cream and heavy cream are the same most of the time. So you can use it.

        There’s a link to the pan I use in the instructions, it’s easy to remove the tart with it. But you can use your favorite tart pan, and just leave the tart in the pan.

      Hi Shiran, I have made this 2 days ahead and I found out that my oreo crust does not cold the ganache properly. The ganache separated from the crust when I cut it. How does this happen? Is there any recommendation?

      But it still taste good anyway!!

      Probably one of the easiest recipes that I have tried. It’s foolproof and so delicious. As a side note, this tart is quite rich and CHOColately. My husband is a chocolate lover between the two of us, but he couldn’t have more than one slice and it’s quite a powerful taste for me too. I will freeze the leftover and have it whenever we feel like having strong chocolate. I might try a lighter ‘dark’ chocolate next time. But overall this recipe beats all the others! Thank you for sharing Shiran!

        Hi Juandri, I feel the same way, a little too rich. So what I do, is make the base with crushed ginger biscuits! It totally balances the sweetness & is a delicious combo!
        You could also add some instant coffee granules to the warm Ganache, that’s awesome!

      A good side note: Before serving the tart to guests, take it out of the fridge for about an hour/two hours. I served my tart straight out of the fridge and it was not as pleasant, tough to eat, and sticky. But when I kept it out on the table it got better and better.

        Hi Sharan,
        Thank you for this recipe. Super easy. I did three quarter milk and quarter dark semi sweet chocolate and it was delicious. Highly recommend this recipe if you want to impress your friends and family. I served from fridge and only left it for about half an hour. Delicious melted in your mouth.

      Phenomenal! I wanted a smaller cake so used 60% of all the quantities and used both Lindt 90% chocolate and Tesco brand 55% chocolat e, the ganache didn’t end up smooth which could be because the chocolate was darker (Shiran mentions this in the comments) or because I left th ganache unattended for hours and it set before I had a chance to put it in the cake. Otherwise pour the ganache immediately and maybe use a spatula (I used a spoon). The taste was divine, I think made better with 90% cacao. To cover the not so mooth ganache I used a dusting of cocoa powder which made it look much better. This cake was a HIT with my family – can’t wait to remake.

      Divine, I made sure to use really high quality chocolate (Lindt, 90% mixed with 60% supermarket own brand, just to get some sugar in there) and I think that made a difference. Only problem was that I left the filling unattended for an or two and it set in the bowl, so by the time I added it to the cake the top didn’t have that glassy/ smooth finish on top, so make sure to put the filling directly in. The other issue could be (as the baker mentions) higher grade chocolate means the ganache will be thicker.

      I just fill mine with dark chocolate ganache but I needed a good crust. I didn’t want something as structured as a pie crust, but needed something that would hold up better than the traditional Oreo/butter crust. I started with this recipe and it gave me some good ideas. I doubled the dark chocolate and melted it with the butter, then pulsed it in the food processor with the finely crushed Oreos. The melted chocolate & butter resolidifies as the crust cools and holds the crumbs together perfectly. It comes out of the tart pan beautiful. It’s just a slightly sturdier crust. Thanks for the inspiration!

Weighing the chocolate and butter, perfect! Thank you! As for the crust, I made Anna Olson’s chocolate pie/tart pie crust. Not a fan of Oreo’s (sorry).

      If I have the time to bake the crust, is that after chilling it in the fridge or freezer for 30 minutes? And then I wait until the crust has completely cooled before adding the filling?

        Hi Francie, if you’re in the US, I like using Ghirardelli baking chocolate bars. If you’re not in the US, I suggest any high quality bar of baking chocolate. Avoid chocolate chips or any chocolate containing lecithin as that will not make the best ganache filling.

        Hi Mary, it sounds like your ganache separated. Either you used chocolate chips with lecithin which can impact the ganache or the cream was heated too much and caused a separation.

      Hi
      Planning to make this for christmas. Have a 25cm tin so might make it 1 & 1/4 x the recipe. Ive seen comments on the biscuit base. How wet should the biscuit crumbs be. More wet or crumbly like a cheesecake base?

      Lastly once base is in tin, should you set in the fridge for 30m 1st before baking in oven @ 180c for 5-6 minutes?

      Thanks

        Hi Paula! The crumb crust will be a bit more wet than a crumbly cheesecake base. The crumbs should stick together well.

        To answer your question baking the crust is optional. Place the crust in the fridge for 30 minutes to firm up before adding the filling OR before baking the crust. Then let it cool completely on a wire rack before adding the filling.
