PREP TIME: 35 MINS
SERVINGS: 8-10
Instructions
- Crust
- To make the crust, break Oreo cookies (with the filling) into smaller pieces. Then, pulse in a blender or food processor into fine crumbs. Alternatively put the Oreo cookies into a freezer bag and crush them using a rolling pin. Transfer crumbs to a medium bowl.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Melt vegan butter in a small pan.
- Drizzle melted butter over the Oreo crumbs and mix until combined. You’re looking for a wet sand type of texture.
- Firmly and evenly press the mixture into the bottom and sides of a greased tart pan.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
- Chocolate Pudding Filling
- To make the filling melt vegan chocolate chips over a double boiler and set aside.
- Add 1/2 cup (125ml) of plant based milk and pulp into a blender and blend until smooth. If you don’t have a blender I recommend to use cashew pulp as it’s less grainy.
- Add cornstarch, cocoa powder and sugar into a small bowl and stir to combine.
- Add the milk-pulp mixture and whisk until completely combined.
- Add the other 1/2 cup of plant based milk and the coconut milk to a sauce pan and stir to combine. Bring to boil over medium heat, stirring frequently.
- Add the prepared cornstarch-cocoa-sugar-pulp-milk mixture and bring to boil once again stirring constantly. Reduce heat and cook for one more minute until the chocolate pudding gets thick.
- Remove from the stove and stir in the melted chocolate chips. Feel free to add vanilla extract and more sugar if needed.
- Pour filling onto the prepared tart crust and spread evenly with a spoon or spatula.
- Place in the fridge for a least 2 hours or until the pudding filling gets firm.
- Chill until ready to serve.
- - Toppings
- To make the „Dirt“ topping process remaining Oreo cookies into fine crumbs (like you did for the crust). It’s up to you how much Oreo „dirt“ you want on your tart.
- Sprinkle on top of the pudding filling and decorate with gummy worms*. You can bury them a bit to make it look like the gummy worms are crawling out of the tart.
- Note: Gummy worms tend to harden in the fridge so we recommend adding them just before serving!
- - Serve and Enjoy!
- ENJOY straight from the fridge and store leftovers for up to 3 days.
