Recipe for the No-Bake Chocolate Tartlet
Start the preparation of the no-bake chocolate tartlet by melting the butter in a saucepan or microwave. Let it cool slightly.
In the meantime, deal with the cookies by placing them in a blender jar.
Blend them until you get a fine crumb.
Transfer the cookie crumbs to a bowl, add the melted butter, and mix until you get a homogeneous mixture.
Divide the cookie mixture into two 4-inch tart molds and press it well with your hands or the back of a spoon to make it adhere to the mold.
Let the tartlet bases rest in the fridge for at least an hour (better if two).
In the meantime, prepare the ganache.
Heat the fresh cream and butter in a saucepan: they should just come to a simmer; if you have a kitchen thermometer, you can remove from the heat when the mixture reaches about 176 degrees Fahrenheit.
Break 7 oz of dark chocolate into pieces and place it in a bowl.
Pour the cream and butter mixture over it.
Stir with a spoon until the chocolate is completely melted.
Let it cool slightly.
Take the cookie bases from the fridge and fill them with the chocolate ganache.
Decorate your tartlet as you like; I chose colorful sprinkles.
Let rest for another 30 minutes in the fridge, then bring your no-bake chocolate tartlet to the table.

Can I use another type of cookies for the base?
Yes! If you don’t have Oreo®, you can use dry cocoa cookies or even digestive-type cookies for a more neutral base. If you choose less buttery cookies, you may need to add a bit more melted butter to compact everything well.
Can I prepare this tartlet in advance?
Absolutely yes! You can store it in the fridge for 2-3 days covered with plastic wrap. For perfect consistency, take it out of the fridge 10-15 minutes before serving.
How can I decorate the tartlet besides using colorful sprinkles?
You can add fresh fruit (like raspberries or strawberries), chopped nuts (hazelnuts, pistachios, almonds), chocolate shavings, or even a pinch of Maldon salt for a delicious contrast.
With the chocolate ganache, I also made the Cosmic brownies recipe to make them at home
