How to make a Chocolate Tart Crust
In a food processor, pulse the chocolate cream-filled sandwich cookies until the cookies are ground into fine crumbs.
Pour the crumbs into a medium bowl and add the melted butter and mix with a spatula until fully combined.
Pour the mixture into a 9-inch removable bottom tart pan.
Press the mixture onto the sides and bottom of the tart pan with clean hands and a spatula.
Place the tart pan into the oven and bake for 8 minutes at 350 degrees.
Immediately remove the tart from the oven and place it on a wire rack and allow it to cool for 15 minutes.
How to make Chocolate Ganache
Place the bittersweet and milk chocolate chips into a medium heat-proof bowl and set aside.
Over medium heat, stir the heavy cream and butter until tiny bubbles form around the edges of the pan. Immediately remove from the heat. Do not allow the mixture to simmer or boil. Pour the mixture over the chocolate chips.
Let it stand for 2 minutes.
Gently mix with a spatula until smooth and silky.
How to assemble Chocolate Ganache Tart
Pour the ganache over the crust and smooth with a spatula.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully set.
Use a blow torch 3-4 inches away from the top of the tart to remove bubbles and make for a shiny glossy finish before serving.
Remove the tart from the removable sides and place it on a serving dish before cutting. It should make 8 slices.
Garnish with your favorite toppings.
