It’s topped with a homemade espresso whipped cream, fresh berries and flaky sea salt to balance out the sweet flavors. When I think of date night, I think of dark chocolate so I had to include this as part of my date night series. If you missed any of my other date night desserts, you’ll have to try these small batch brownies and white chocolate mousse. What really sets this this no-bake dessert apart is the Espresso Whipped Cream. Pile it on top of the creamy chocolate filling and then dust with cocoa powder or chocolate shavings.
Reasons Why You Will Love My Chocolate Tart
My Chocolate Tart is a NO BAKE recipe! No oven needed! Yay! It is a chocolate lovers dream dessert! Minimal Ingredients to make this decadent dessert. Make the crust ahead of time and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Only 2 ingredients to make this no-bake crust that turns out perfectly every time you make it.
Oreos: Make sure you stick with name brand Oreos so that you have the correct measurements. Off brands can be a different size and/or weight and will affect the texture of the crust. Butter: Melted butter helps bind the cookie crumbs together, and during the refrigerator process, the melted butter will firm back up and hold the crust together. Bittersweet chocolate: Bittersweet creates a wonderfully rich ganache. Be sure to use high quality chocolate bars, and not chocolate chips. Heavy cream: be sure to use full fat and not something like half and half. Granulated sugar: Adds just the right of sweetness for the bittersweet chocolate
Vanilla: Always use pure vanilla, as imitation vanilla can have a bitter taste. Pinch of salt: Salt helps accent all of the flavors in the ganache. Powdered sugar: Powdered sugar is the perfect sugar to sweeten the espresso whipped cream and the added starch in powdered sugar helps the cream stand longer. Espresso powder: The highly concentrated express powder is made from ground espresso beans that have been brewed, dried, and crushed into a fine powder. If you don’t have any to use for the homemade whipped cream, you can leave it out to make just delicious ol’ whipped cream.
