A rich buttery chocolate cookie crust, gooey salted caramel, topped with a decadent and gorgeously rich ganache , this Chocolate Caramel Tart recipe is so dreamy.
Crush the oreos with a food processor, or put them in a ziplock and smash with a rolling pin until finely crushed.
Place crumbs in a bowl, then stir in 8 tablespoons melted butter until well combined.
Press firmly into your pie plate. Freeze crust for 10 minutes until set.

Over a medium heat, cook, whisking constantly, until mixture begins to bubble.
Continue cooking, whisking constantly, for 1 minute.
Remove from heat. Beat in 1/2 cup cream until smooth. Cool about 15 minutes.
Pour the caramel over the Oreo crust, sprinkle with some salt, then return to freezer for about 30 minutes until chilled and set but not frozen.
Ganache
Place chocolate chips in a glass bowl. In a saucepan, bring 1/2 cup cream to a simmer over medium-high heat.
Pour the cream over the chocolate chips and let sit for 5 minutes, then whisk until completely smooth.
