📖 Recipe
Best 40+ Layered Desserts: Oreo Tart & More
Equipment
- Tart pan Nonstick
Ingredients
Oreo Crust
- 300 g Oreos crumbs
- 80 g Butter melted
Filling:
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- ¾ cup Nutella
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
- 100 g Oreos chunks
Whipped cream
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoon Powder sugar
Assembly:
- Oreo chunks
Instructions
Crust:
- Pulse Oreos in a food processor until fine crumbs form. If you don’t have a food processor on hand, place the Oreos in a Ziplock bag and smash them with a cup until fine crumbs form.
- Into a small mixing bowl, add the oreo crumbs, and the melted butter. Mix with a spoon until a homogenized mixture forms.
- Transfer the crust mixture to a tart pan, and press it into the pan until a nice even layer of crust forms. You will need a 9-inch tart pan, we highly recommend this tart pan, it's a high-quality pan that is also affordable! Freeze while making the filling.
Tart filling:
- Into a medium saucepan, add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, Nutella, and kosher salt. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly until the mixture is well combined.
- Add the cornstarch and cream mixture, MIXING CONSTANTLY, to avoid lumps in the filling. Let the mixture thicken up for 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and keep stirring for 2 more minutes. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer. Add oreo chunks to the mixture and mix it with a spoon.
- Remove the crust from the freezer and pour the filling into the crust. Smooth it out with a spatula until you are satisfied with the look of the tart. Chill the tart in the fridge for at least 3 hours to let it firm nicely.
- Step 8: Remove the tart from the fridge and carefully remove it from the tart pan.
- Top the tart with a big dollop of whipped cream, spreading it all around the top of the tart.
- Top the whipped cream with oreo chunks.
