Chocolate Mint Truffle Tart
Indulging in a slice of this decadent dessert is like biting into a smooth truffle candy. You can vary the flavor by using raspberry-flavored baking chocolate chips.—Sally Sibthorpe, Shelby Township, Michigan
16 Servings
Prep: 25 min. Bake: 25 min.
Ingredients
2 cups cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookie crumbs
3/4 cup butter, softened,
divided
1 package (10 ounces) mint chocolate chips
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup heavy whipping cream
3 eggs, lightly beaten
Whipped cream, additional mint chocolate chips and mint sprigs, optional
Directions
In a small bowl, combine cookie crumbs and 1/4 cup butter; press onto
the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased 9-in. tart pan.
Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a food processor, combine the chips, sugar and vanilla;
cover and process for 20 seconds or until chips are chopped. In a
small heavy saucepan, heat cream and remaining butter until bubbles
form around sides of pan. Drizzle over chopped chocolate while
processing. Whisk a small amount of chocolate mixture into eggs;
return all to food processor and process until smooth.
Pour into tart shell. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until
center is just set (mixture will jiggle). Cool completely on a wire
rack. Store in the refrigerator. Garnish with whipped cream,
additional mint chips and mint sprigs if desired.
