For the Crust
- 15 Oreo cookies
- 5 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For the Raspberry Layer
- 1 cup raspberry preserves
- 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 Tablespoon water
For the Chocolate Ganache
- 11.5 ounce bag good quality milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Prepare Tart Mold: Grease a 9-inch tart mold using nonstick cooking spray. Place it on a sheet tray and set aside to ensure easy handling later.
- Make Cookie Crust: Place Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. Drizzle melted butter over the crumbs and stir with a spoon until fully combined into a moist crumb mixture.
- Form Crust: Press the cookie crumb mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared tart mold to create a firm crust. Set aside.
- Heat Raspberry Preserves: Transfer raspberry preserves to a small saucepan and warm over low heat, stirring occasionally, until melted and loose.
- Thicken Raspberry Layer: In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Add this to the warm preserves and whisk thoroughly. Increase heat slightly and bring to a gentle simmer, cooking for 1 minute until slightly thickened.
- Add Raspberry Layer to Crust: Immediately pour the thickened raspberry mixture over the cookie crust and smooth it out evenly. Set aside for cooling.
- Prepare Ganache: Place milk chocolate chips into a medium heatproof bowl. Heat heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until it begins to bubble around the edges, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
- Combine Ganache: Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips. Let sit undisturbed for 3 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt, then stir gently until the ganache is smooth and fully combined.
- Top Raspberry Layer with Ganache: Pour the chocolate ganache over the raspberry layer in the tart mold and smooth the surface with a spatula if necessary.
- Set Tart: Allow the tart to cool at room temperature for about 15 minutes. Then transfer it to the refrigerator to set firmly for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight for best results.
- Serve: Once set, unmold the tart carefully. Optionally garnish as desired, slice, and serve chilled for a rich and decadent dessert.
Notes
- Use good quality milk chocolate chips for the creamiest ganache.
- Make sure the raspberry preserves are smooth for an even fruit layer.
- Press the cookie crust firmly to avoid crumbling when slicing.
- Can be prepared a day ahead and stored in the fridge overnight.
- Consider garnishing with fresh raspberries or chocolate shavings for an elegant presentation.
