Description
This No Bake Dark Chocolate Tart is a rich, smooth, and elegant dessert made with a simple chocolate cookie crust and a silky dark chocolate ganache filling. It’s perfect for when you want something indulgent without turning on the oven.
Ingredients
- For the crust:
- 1½ cups chocolate cookie crumbs
- 6 tablespoons melted butter
- For the filling:
- 8 ounces dark chocolate, finely chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Mix the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter in a bowl until fully combined.
- Press the mixture into the bottom and sides of a tart pan to form a crust. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
- In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it begins to steam (do not boil).
- Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Let it sit for 1 minute, then stir until smooth and glossy.
- Stir in the maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, and salt until fully combined.
- Pour the chocolate mixture into the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Refrigerate the tart for at least 4 hours or until fully set.
- Slice and serve chilled. Optionally, top with fresh berries or sea salt before serving.
Notes
- Add a pinch of espresso powder to enhance the chocolate flavor.
- Use almond or hazelnut cookie crumbs for a nutty variation.
- Top with whipped cream, berries, or a sprinkle of flaky sea salt before serving.
