Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups finely crushed chocolate wafer cookies (about 16 cookies)
1/3 cup butter, melted
2 bars (8 oz.) NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Dark Chocolate Baking Bar, broken into small pieces
2 cups heavy whipping cream, divided
2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Directions:

PREHEAT oven to 325º F.

COMBINE crushed cookies and butter in medium bowl. Press onto bottom and up side of ungreased 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom. Bake for 15 minutes. Cool completely in pan on wire rack.

MICROWAVE chocolate and 1 cup cream in medium, uncovered, microwave-safe bowl on MEDIUM-HIGH (70%) power for 1 minute; STIR. If pieces retain some of their original shape, microwave at additional 10- to 15-second intervals, stirring just until smooth. Cool to room temperature.

BEAT remaining 1 cup cream and powdered sugar in chilled medium mixer bowl until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold whipped cream into chocolate mixture until blended. Spoon into prepared crust; smooth top.

REFRIGERATE for 4 hours or until firm.

NOTE: For a more sophisticated flavor, add two tablespoons orange-flavored liqueur into chocolate mixture before spooning into crust. Tart slices can also be garnished with whipped cream and fresh berries.

mmm good!

tina vacalopoulos from MELBOURNE, FL

easy to make. didn't have a tart pan so used a 9 inch pie plate. it is very rich so you have to eat small portions--this makes it last longer! will make again--a keeper.

This is the most amazing chocolate recipe ever!! I made this yesterday for a family gathering and it was gone in a matter of minutes. Everyone wanted one. I said that next time I guess I should make two!!!
Intense Chocolate Flavor

K Langberg from

This recipe was incredibly easy. However, the chocolate flavor is extremely intense (even for a choco-holic like me). I think I might make this again using regular semi-sweet morsels and it would be great. Either way, it definitely needs whipped cream to balance that rich chocolate experience.

Intense Chocolate Flavor

SANDY G from SHARPSBURG, GA

Not only was this recipe VERY easy to make, it was so delicious! I wanted to try the new Chocolatier chips and they are excellent. This recipe gives you intense chocolate flavor and is not too rich. Excellent!!!
A hit!

Mary Walvoort from Sheboygan Falls, WI

I made this for our "Chick's Night Out" monthly get-together. Great taste and appearance for very little effort. Will definitely make this again when I want to have a "fancier" dessert.

Tricia M from eastern passage, NS

I tried it last night, every one loved it! I didn't have any left for today. Will use it again next for sure
Awesomely Easy Chocolate Moose Tart

liz anderson from COLORADO SPRINGS, CO

Could this be any easier? A quick oven bake for the crust, mix the filling and pop it in the 'fridge until firm. Cleaning up after would take longer than making this dessert.
good name

L Gigowski from CAMPBELLSPORT, WI

This was very rich and VERY delicious. Not difficult to make, I used a store bought cookie crust and it worked just fine. We fought over the last piece.
