Easy To Make Tart
I rarely make tarts and I’m not sure why. They are fairly simple to make, no more difficult than a pie, but for some reason they seem much more elegant and special than a pie.

Together they make one heck of a combination.
Three Components
This dessert has three easy components.
- Oreo Crust
- Chocolate Filling.
- Cherry Topping with chocolate drizzle.
How To Serve
This chocolate dessert can be served warm, at room temperature, or chilled. Add a dollop of whipped cream to really take it over the top.
