Filling: 3/4 cups dark chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate 2 1/2 TBL water 1 TBL cocoa powder 1/2 tsp espresso powder Pinch of salt, optional 1 tsp brandy, optional 1/4 cup Marscapone cheese or cream cheese 3/4 cup heavy cream
Glaze: 1 TBL water 1 1/2 tsp gelatin 1/4 cup dutch process cocoa 5 1/2 TBL water 1/4 cup sugar 1 TBL butter 1 TBL dark chocolate
Slivered almonds, to garnish
For crust: Place cookies in a food processor and grind until they are crumbs. Or, you can crush them by hand. Make sure they’re fine though. Add melted butter, and mix to combine. Divide crumbs between two mini tart pans and press evenly into the edges. Set aside.
For filling: in a small bowl, place chocolate, water, cocoa powder and espresso powder. Microwave for 45 seconds. Stir to combine, and add brandy and salt. Add Marscapone cheese. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, place heavy cream. Whip to stiff peaks. Fold in the chocolate in a few rounds until combined. Place filling in the tart pan, leaving a little of the top exposed. Even out and refrigerate for 1-2 hours or until set.
For glaze: In a small bowl, combine 1 TBL water and gelatin. Allow to soak about 5 minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients to a small pot. Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat. Add soaked gelatin mixture, and stir to combine. Allow to cool about 5-10 minutes. It will thicken as it cools.
To assemble: carefully pour in a little mirror glaze just to coat the tart. After the glaze has set, top with two piece of almond to form a heart. Slice, and serve. (You will have extra mirror glaze. Place extras in a plastic bag and keep in the freezer)

This video provides a step-by-step guide to creating a no-bake chocolate tart, perfect for Valentine's Day. The recipe features an Oreo-based crust, a rich chocolate and mascarpone filling, and a glossy cocoa glaze, finished with heart-shaped almond decorations.
Hey campers, let's make a limited time Valentine's Day treat.
Chocolate tart. You don't even have to bake it.
The crust is made from Oreos. You're gonna need
about 12. Now I'm breaking them up by hand,
but I should have used a food processor or blender here.
I suggest you learn from my mistake.
Get those crumbs nice and fine.
Then add your melted butter
and stir it in. It'll look and feel sort of like wet sand.
Alright, divide your crust mixture
between two mini tart pans.
Press it into the sides with your fingers. When that's done, set it
aside. All right, I'm going to use bittersweet chocolate for my recipe.
I like my chocolate
desserts on the bitter side, and as you can see,
I even buy this kind of chocolate in bulk. But I
suggest if you want a more kind of traditional taste,
you go with semi-sweet or even milk
chocolate. It'll be much more mild and you'll probably like it more.
Place your chocolate in
microwave safe bowl with water cocoa powder espresso
or coffee powder the
instant stuff and then nuke it for 45
seconds mix it up now some optional
flavors brandy and a pinch of salt finally
a little mascarpone cheese you
can use cream cheese too just mix it
in real good if you use cream cheese make
sure that it's soft
now some cream whip
it up stiff peaks
as usual now carefully
add the chocolate to the cream
and fold it in if your chocolate got thick again
and you can nuke it before you start folding it
into the cream for about 10 seconds to get it soft.
Mmm, looks good already.
At this point, you can also add more sugar
if the chocolate flavor is too strong for you.
I like my chocolate desserts to hurt, so I'm going to leave it as is.
Add your filling to your tart pans.
Carefully even it out with an offset spatula.
Leave a little exposed on the top.
Set it aside while we make a glaze,
which starts with water and gelatin.
Let it soak.
In a small pot goes cocoa.
I always use Dutch process.
sugar, water, butter, and some chocolate.
Bring it to a boil
and then quickly turn off the heat.
Then, you can add that gelatin mixture from before
and stir it until it dissolves.
It's ready! Give it about 5-10 minutes, it'll be easier to pour.
It'll thicken as it cools.
Alright, carefully pour in a tablespoon or two onto your tarts.
By the way, you're gonna have
extra glaze here, but you can pour the rest into a Ziploc bag
and freeze it until you're ready to
make another fancy chocolate dessert. It's great on cake!
Finish it off with slivered almonds in
in the shape of a heart slice and serve it up
like any other tart and feed it to a friend
here you go eat it eat it eat
