Ingredients
 
 

Oreo Crust

  • 25 Oreos
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted

Ganache Filling

  • 340 grams dark chocolate chocolate chips or baking bars
  • 240 grams heavy whipping cream
  • 21 sweet cherries pitted and sliced

Whipped Cream

  • 240 grams heavy whipping cream cold
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Oreo Crust

  • Add Oreos to a food processor and pulse until finely crushed. Add 6 tablespoons of melted butter and pulse again until the mixture looks like wet sand.
    25 Oreos, 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Freeze for at least 30 minutes to set.

Ganache Filling

  • Place dark chocolate chips or chopped chocolate in a heat-safe bowl. Microwave 1 cup of heavy cream in a separate bowl until just simmering, about 1 minute. Don’t let it boil.

  • Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for 1 minute, then stir until smooth and glossy.
  • Arrange the pitted and sliced cherries evenly over the chilled crust. Pour the ganache on top and smooth it out with an offset spatula.

  • Cover the tart loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until the filling is fully set.

Whipped Cream

  • In a small mixing bowl, beat cold heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until medium peaks form.
    240 grams heavy whipping cream, 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Remove the tart from the pan. Top with whipped cream and extra cherries. Slice and serve cold.

Notes

Storage: Store in the refrigerator, loosely covered with plastic wrap or foil, for up to 3-4 days. Keep it chilled until ready to serve, and add the whipped cream and extra cherries just before serving. This helps the topping stay fresh and prevents the crust from getting soggy.
