Servings: 8
Calories: 479kcal
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.
