This no-bake chocolate tart with sea salt is a quick and elegant dessert featuring a rich dark chocolate filling set in a crunchy chocolate cookie crust. Finished with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt and optional fresh berries or chocolate shavings, this dessert offers a perfect balance of sweet and salty flavors without the need for baking.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1½ cups chocolate cookie crumbs
  • ¼ cup melted butter

For the Chocolate Filling:

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 200g (7 oz) dark chocolate, chopped
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For Garnish:

  • Flaky sea salt
  • Optional: fresh berries or chocolate shavings

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Mix the chocolate cookie crumbs with the melted butter until evenly combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a tart pan to form an even crust layer. Chill in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes to allow the crust to set firmly.
  2. Make the chocolate filling: Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove the pan from heat and pour the hot cream over the chopped dark chocolate. Let it sit for 1–2 minutes to melt the chocolate, then stir gently until the mixture is smooth and glossy. Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
  3. Assemble the tart: Pour the prepared chocolate filling evenly into the chilled crust. Use a spatula to smooth the top for an even finish.
  4. Chill: Place the tart in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate filling is fully set and firm to the touch.
  5. Serve: Before serving, sprinkle the tart with flaky sea salt. Optionally, decorate with fresh berries or chocolate shavings for added flavor and visual appeal. Enjoy this rich, no-bake dessert that’s perfect for any occasion.

Notes

  • Use high-quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher) for the best flavor.
  • The tart must chill for at least 2 hours to fully set; overnight chilling is also possible.
  • For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free chocolate cookies for the crust.
  • Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Adding fresh berries adds a refreshing contrast to the rich chocolate.
