    Why you'll love this dark chocolate dessert

    • It's creamy and decadent
    • It's versatile! You can either bake the tart crust for less than 10 minutes or make a no-bake crust for the pomegranate dark chocolate filling.
    • This flourless chocolate tart can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for when you need it.
    • The added pomegranate seeds add a tart flavor to the chocolate cake and make for a perfect garnish.
    • The irresistible chocolate crust is perfectly sweetened with oreo filling and coconut flakes for extra flavor.

    If you are already drooling, wait until you try my other chocolate tart recipe. It is so good!

     Ingredients

    For the crust, you'll need;

    • Oreo cookies (with filling) I find myself leaning towards Oreo cookies for my tarts lately; I guess it's the smooth oreo filling or my sweet tooth. Hey, any excuse to lick up the filling? Moreover, you can use digestive biscuits, coconut shortbread (another favorite I use for coconut cream pie), graham crackers, and a variety of others.
    •  Butter: use unsalted butter, and melt it before adding it to the food processor.
    • Coconut flakes: unsweetened coconut bits to add texture and flavor. This is optional. 

    Check out this post where I talk more about how I make my tart crust here.

    Weiss chocolate pomegranate chocolate tart

    For the filling, you'll need;

    Chocolate: I used a combination of dark and milk chocolate. You can use semi-sweet or one of the other. These are the main ingredients for the pomegranate recipe, and they shouldn't be skipped.

    Heavy whipping cream: this adds richness to the tart

    Butter

    Pomegranate concentrate: or pomegranate molasses can be used for this recipe. If you don't have pomegranate concentrate, use coffee liqueur. The coffee liqueur will help lift the flavors.

    How to make it

    • Roughly process the pecan, coconut flakes, and Oreo in a food processor with the filling intact. Then add the melted butter, and combine.
    • Transfer the mixture to a tart pan and press firmly on all sides using the tips of your fingers.
    • Bake crust in the oven for 7 minutes and allow to cool completely on a cooling rack.
    • Bring the heavy whipping cream to a gentle boil. Add the butter, then remove the pot from heat.
    • Place the chopped chocolates in a heatproof bowl, slowly pour in the hot cream, and leave it untouched for two minutes. Whisk to combine. Add pomegranate concentrate and a pinch of salt.
    • Transfer the filling into the cooled oreo tart crust.
    • Refrigerate for up to 6 hours or overnight
    • Once set, dust the top with unsweetened cocoa powder. Please, don't be like me; sift the powder before sprinkling it over the tart or swirl some melted white chocolate over the tart.
    • Lastly, add some fresh pomegranate seeds prior to serving.

    Equipment

    I used a food processor, you can equally use a zip lock bag to pound the oreo cookies, pecans, and flakes, then transfer into a bowl and add the butter. Use a spatula to combine until it starts to come together.

    Storage

    This fruit chocolate tart keeps well in the refrigerator when wrapped properly for up to 5 days. It can equally be frozen for up to a month. Make sure to wrap it in cling film, then place it in a ziplock bag. Freeze it without the garnishes, so it's not mushy.

    With mothers day around the corner, wouldn't it be nice if this were a surprise treat for mom? Hint hint to dads and older kids reading this. Moms LOVE chocolate. Treat that special woman in your life with this dessert treat.

    You can use mixed berries to garnish the tart or leave it bare; either way, it will b worth the minimal fuss.

    Ingredients

    • 22 Oreo cookies (with filling)
    • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
    • ½ Cup unsweetened coconut flakes
    • ¼ cup pecan halves (optional)
    • 200 g milk chocolate
    • 100 g dark chocolate
    • 1 cup heavy cream
    • 4 tablespoons butter, cubed
    • 1 tablespoon pomegranate concentrate
    • pinch of salt
    • ¼ cup fresh pomegranate seeds ( to garnish)
    • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder or confectioner sugar (to dust) optional

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 375°F
    • Place the pecan, coconut flakes and, Oreo in a food processor with the filling intact. Pulse for a few seconds until crumbly. Add in the melted butter, pulse twice until the butter incorporates with the crumbs.
    • Place the crust in a tart pan ( I used a 9″ pan) and begin pressing firmly to bottom and sides of pan with theusing the tips of your fingers or the bottom of a flat cup.
    •  Bake crust in the oven for 7 minutes and allow to cool completely on a cooling rack.
    • Place a medium saucepan on a stove top, add the heavy whipping cream. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat. Add butter, and remove from heat.
    • Chop the chocolate bars, place them in a bowl, and pour the hot cream into the bowl. Leave untouched for about 2 minutes, then stir gently to avoid adding too much air to the mixture, as this could leave the tart with too many bubbles.
      Mix until you get a smooth texture and the chocolate is completely melted. Add the pomegranate extract and pinch of salt, stir once more and transfer into the cooled crust. Level the top by using a rubber spatula.
    • Place the tart in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours or overnight until it sets.
    • Once it sets, dust the powdered sugar or cocoa powder on top, then garnish with Pomegranate seeds or fruits of choice.
    • PS: Before placing the tart in the refrigerator, you can add the Pom seeds on top of the tart before it sets, but I prefer to give my guest the option to add it if they want.
    • PPS: Don’t worry if there are bubbles in your tart. You can always cover it up with garnishes. PPPS :): I used French brand chocolate called WEISS CHOCOLATE.
