I have talked about my Nutella obsession many times before.  Nutella has a very soft spot in my heart…soft and gooey.

And unfortunately for me…I have found an ideal recipe for my Nutella.  Also, unfortunately for me, this recipe is a no bake and it only takes minutes to prepare.  Say goodbye to those perfect abs I have so been pining for.

I first saw a version of this recipe in one of those Instagram one minute videos.  But naturally, I was skeptical.  It all seemed to be too simple.  And frankly, I did not think the science of it would work.

But ummmm, guys…I was wrong.   I was so horribly wrong.

It worked beautifully.

Magically.

Easily.

And most importantly deliciously.

How simple was this?  5 ingredients simple.

The chocolate crust was buttery and crunchy and simply made from a mix of Oreos and butter.  And the filling was made from dark chocolate, Nutella and heavy whipping cream, aka Nutella ganache.

Ganache is the heavenly combination of chocolate and heavy cream that makes everything from chocolate glazes on cakes, truffles and decadent fillings, like this one.  Heavy cream is warmed up to a simmer and then poured over chocolate.  Voila…that is the secret behind the ganache technique.  No magic here.  Just a super simple technique.

Ganache is extremely versatile and has different uses based on the only 2 ingredients in it: Chocolate and heavy whipping cream.

  • For a glaze that you would use on top of a cake or to cover some lovely truffles the proportions would me 1:2, meaning one part chocolate to two parts cream.
  • For a slightly thicker filling like one you would use in layer cakes, in between layers the proportions would be 1:1, meaning equal parts cream and chocolate.
  • For truffles or a thicker filling (like we will be using in our tart) the proportions would be 2:1 or 2 parts chocolate to 1 part cream.

I played around with the technique and recipe in this particular recipe a few times.  And it turned out, that the Nutella created an even more creamy texture for the ganache filling.    I included the Nutella as part of my chocolate ratio and then doubled the cream.  The results.  Perfection.

Back to my magical no bake Nutella tart story.  The end result of this tart proved to be nothing less than gourmet perfection.  This was a recipe that anyone would swear was made by a French pastry chef.

I finished up the tart by nestling a few raspberries in the filling.

    1. I made this and it was good but it seams to dence and we didn’t love it… only liked it (and this was for a dnd group of 4 people plus roommate’s)

  1. Can you think of any substitutions for Oreos in the crust – not a huge fan of the flavor. Everything else sounds so delicious.

    1. Hi Tanya!!! The flavor of the Oreos doesn’t come through . But what you can do is just go graham crackers and then add in some cocoa 🙂

  2. Hi Mila. This looks absolutely stunning, and I love how you’ve decorated it with raspberries. Would you share the dimensions of your tart pan, please?

  3. Making this for tomorrow! I’ll let everyone know how this group likes it (it’s my dnd group)
