Ingredients

For the Oreo Cookie Crust

  • 25 original Oreo cookies
  • ¼ cup butter, softened

For the Chocolate Hazelnut Truffle Tart

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 10 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup butter, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons chocolate hazelnut flavor extract
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature and lightly beaten
  • shaved or chopped chocolate, whipped cream optional

Instructions

For the Oreo Cookie Crust

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. 
  • Put the cookies in a food processor and process until fine. If you don’t have a food processor, put the cookies in a plastic freezer bag and crush with a rolling pin until fine crumbs. 
  • Add butter to the crumb mixture and mix well using the food processor or by hand. 
  •  Press evenly into a tart or pie pan and bake for 12-15 minutes. 

For the Chocolate Hazelnut Truffle Tart

  • While the crust is baking, combine sugar, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and LorAnn Oils Chocolate Hazelnut flavor extract in a large mixing bowl.
  • In a small pot heat heavy cream and butter over medium heat until just simmering. 
  • Lightly beat three room temperature eggs in a medium-size bowl. 
  • Pour the heated cream and butter over the chocolate chips, sugar, and extract. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and sugar has dissolved. Pour about ⅓ of the melted chocolate mixture into the eggs, stir until combined, then pour the egg mixture into the remaining chocolate mixture and stir until smooth. 
  • Pour the mixture into the prebaked tart crust. Bake for 25-30 minutes at 350 degrees F, or until the center is just set (the middle will jiggle). Cool completely on a wire rack. 
  • Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Top the tart with whipped cream and shaved chocolate if desired.
