A classic chocolate cream tart (like a chocolate cream tart).

 A classic chocolate cream tart (like a chocolate cream tart). Here are the ingredients to easily prepare it for 8 people, based on a reliable recipe (inspired by Allrecipes and other similar Arabic recipes). I’ve divided the ingredients for the base, filling, and topping:

### *For the base (Oreo or shortcrust pastry) – For a 23 cm mold:*

– 200g of chocolate cookies (finely crushed, like Oreos without cream).

– 100g of melted butter.

*Preparation:* Mix and press the mixture into the mold. Bake for 10 minutes at 180 °C and let cool.

*For the chocolate cream filling (pudding):*

– 1.5 cups of white sugar.

– 3 egg yolks (beaten).

– 1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder.

– 3 tablespoons of cornstarch.

– 1/2 teaspoon of salt. – 3 cups of whole milk.

– 1 tablespoon of butter.

– 1.5 teaspoons of vanilla extract.

Method:* Whisk the sugar and egg yolks. Gradually add the cocoa powder, cornstarch, salt, and milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it boils and thickens (like custard). Add the butter and vanilla extract. Let it cool slightly and pour it over the crust. Refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours until firm.

### *For the topping (chocolate ganache and cream):*
– 200 g of dark chocolate (melted with 1/2 cup of heavy cream for the ganache).

– 1 cup of heavy cream (for the filo pastry with 2 tablespoons of icing sugar and a pinch of vanilla extract).

Method:* Pour the hot ganache over the filling until it is completely covered. Let it cool. Sprinkle the whipped cream on top and decorate with chocolate shavings, if desired.

This isn’t a quick dessert (about 1 hour prep time + cooling), but it turns out soft and delicious! If you’d prefer a no-bake or unmodified version (like without eggs), let me know. 😋
