Ingredients
  

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups 170 g Oreo cookie crumbs, about 24 cookies
  • 6 tablespoons 85 g butter, melted

Filling

  • 1 1/4 cups 300 ml heavy cream
  • 2 cups 350 g / 12 oz good-quality bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon 5 ml pure vanilla extract

Topping

  • 2 pints 600 g / about 4 cups fresh raspberries
  • Confectioners' sugar for dusting

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
  • Add the Oreo cookies to a food processor and process until they become fine crumbs. Pour in the melted butter and pulse briefly until evenly combined.
  • Transfer the crumb mixture to a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Press it firmly and evenly across the base and slightly up the sides. The flat bottom of a measuring cup works well for compacting the crust.
  • Bake the crust for 10 minutes. Remove it from the oven and allow it to cool completely before adding the filling.
  • Place the chopped bittersweet chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
  • Heat the heavy cream in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until very hot and small bubbles appear around the edges. Do not allow it to come to a full boil.
  • Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate. Leave it undisturbed for 4–5 minutes so the chocolate can soften.
  • Add the vanilla extract and gently stir until the mixture becomes completely smooth, glossy, and evenly combined.
  • Pour the chocolate ganache into the cooled Oreo crust. Smooth the surface with an offset spatula or the back of a spoon.
  • Allow the Chocolate Raspberry Tart to set at room temperature for 2–3 hours. For faster setting, refrigerate it for about 1 hour.
  • Arrange the fresh raspberries closely together over the chocolate filling in a circular pattern.
  • Lightly dust with confectioners' sugar before slicing and serving.

Notes

For a slightly sweeter filling, replace part of the bittersweet chocolate with semisweet chocolate.
