Description
This No-Bake Chocolate Ganache Tart features a buttery cookie crust and a rich, silky chocolate filling. With no oven required, it’s an easy yet elegant dessert perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate sandwich cookies or graham crackers, finely crushed
- 5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 oz semi-sweet or dark chocolate (chopped or chips)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt (optional, for garnish)
- Fresh berries or whipped cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- In a food processor, pulse the cookies or crackers into fine crumbs.
- Mix the crumbs with melted butter until fully combined.
- Press the mixture into the bottom and sides of a tart pan. Chill in the fridge while preparing the filling.
- Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan just until simmering—do not boil.
- Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate in a bowl. Let sit for 2–3 minutes, then stir until smooth.
- Stir in vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- Pour the ganache into the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the ganache is set.
- Before serving, garnish with sea salt, berries, or whipped cream if desired.
Notes
- Use high-quality chocolate (60–70% cocoa) for best flavor and texture.
- Let the tart sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before slicing for cleaner cuts.
- Use a tart pan with a removable bottom for easy serving.
- Customize with extracts like peppermint, espresso, or orange for extra flavor.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free cookies or graham crackers.
