This Oreo Tart recipe is incredibly delicious and easy to make. It’s sweet, creamy and full of chocolatey Oreo flavor. This tart is made with an Oreo crust, an Oreo cookie dough filling and is topped with Oreo whipped cream.
If there’s a perfect treat for Oreo fans, it is this Oreo chocolate tart. It features a buttery Oreo crust, sweet Oreo cookie dough and is finished with luscious Oreo whipped cream.
This tart combines two of my favorites: cookie dough and Oreos! The idea to combine the two tastes even better than I imagined it would.

INGREDIENT NOTES
Here are some useful notes on the ingredients for this chocolate Oreo tart. Please see recipe card for a full list of ingredients and their measurements.
- Oreos- Use regular Oreos, a similar brand of creme filled chocolate cookie sandwiches. Similarly, you can use boxed Oreo baking crumbs. I don’t recommend using Double Stuff Oreos. Use a food processor to pulse into fine crumbs for the crust. Crush or chop the cookies for the cookie dough and whipped cream.
- Butter– Use unsalted butter. We need melted butter for the crust and room temperature butter for the cookie dough.
- Flour: I use all-purpose flour. The flour is heat treated to kill off any existing bacteria. This step is option but recommended. You can heat treat flour in the oven or the microwave.
- Heavy cream- Use cold heavy cream or heavy whipping cream.
INSTRUCTIONS
Here are the directions on how to make and bake this Oreo chocolate tart.
STEP 1: Make the crust- Mix the Oreo crumbs and melted butter together.
Next, pour the crust into the bottom of a 9 inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Firmly press the mixture into the bottom and sides of the pan.
STEP 2: Bake the Oreo crust. Bake the crust at 350 F for 6 minutes.
Next, set the crust on a rack to cool.
STEP 3: Heat treat the flour. Heat treating the flour is a precautionary step to kill off any existing bacteria. This is option but recommended.
To heat treat the flour in the oven: spread the flour on a large parchment paper lined baking sheet. Bake at 350 F oven for 5 minutes.
To heat treat flour in the microwave: Microwave the flour in a microwave safe bowl for 30-45 seconds. Continue cooking in 15 second intervals until flour reaches for 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
STEP 4: Make the Oreo cookie dough. Start by heat treating the flour.
Use a mixer and beat the butter, vanilla extract and milk on medium speed. Add the flour and salt. Beat on medium until mixture comes together. Stir in the chopped Oreo cookies.
STEP 5: Spread cookie dough. Use an offset spatula to spread the cookie dough over the cooled crust. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
STEP 6: Make the whipped cream. Beat the cold heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract using an electric mixer on low speed for 20 seconds. Increase speed to medium high and beat for a minute or just until you reach stiff peaks.
Next, use a spatula to gently fold in the chopped Oreos.
STEP 7: Top with whipped cream. Spoon the whipped cream over the tart. Enjoy!
Hint: Make the whipped cream just before serving.
SUBSTITUTIONS
- Graham crackers-The crust can be made with graham crackers instead of Oreos.
- Salted butter- If you like salty-sweet flavors, try salted butter for the crust.
- Cool Whip – instead of homemade whipped cream, you can use Cool Whip.
- Store- bought crust– To save time, use a store-bought Oreo or graham cracker crust.
VARIATIONS
- Flavored Oreos– for a different flavor or color, try different flavored Oreos for the crust and/or whipped cream.
EXPERT TIPS
Use a food processor to crush Oreos. A food processor can be used to make the Oreo crumbs. You can also pulse the cookies in the food processor just until they are the size you’d like for the cookie dough and whipped cream topping.
Use heavy cream or heavy whipping cream. Heavy cream and heavy whipping cream have a similar fat content. They are easier to whip and they hold their shape longer than whipping cream.
Check out this article called Is Heavy Cream the Same as Whipping Cream from Cooking Light for more information.
Keep heavy cream cold. Cold heavy cream is easier to whip. It makes the lightest whipped cream. If you have the space, chill the mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 15 minutes or the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
