Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. For the Tart Shell
  2. Preheat your oven to 350F and grease 4 individual tart pans with nonstick baking spray.
  3. Add the oreo crumbs and melted butter to a medium bowl and mix to combine. If using unsalted butter, add a small pinch of salt (about 1/16th teaspoon).
  4. Divide the crumbs between the four tart shells and press them into a smooth, even layer on the bottom and sides.
  5. Bake the tart shells for 6 minutes. Then allow the tart shells to cool on a wire rack before removing them from the pan.
  6. For the Chocolate Ganache Filling
  7. Add the chopped chocolate and cubed butter to a heatproof bowl.
  8. Warm the heavy cream (in the microwave or on the stovetop) until steaming. Pour the cream over the chocolate and butter and allow it to sit for 1 minute.
  9. Add the vanilla and whisk the ganache until the chocolate and butter have melted and the mixture is smooth.
  10. Divide the ganache between the four tart shells and top with a few pieces of halved fresh cherry.
  11. Place the tartlets in the fridge to chill until the ganache has set–about 3 hours.
  12. To serve, top the tart with whipped cream and fresh cherries.
  13. Garnish with chocolate shavings and enjoy.
