Cookie Crusted Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Tart

How to make Cookie Crusted Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Tart recipe -  One of my favorite things about this dessert is that it is so quick to prepare. There isn’t one person who will guess how easy a recipe it is. It will be our little secret. Oreo cookies are ground up for the crust with a delightfulcream cheese filling that does not need to be baked, just chilled. The kids love to put all of the Oreo cookies into the food processor and watch them mix until finely ground.

Ingredients:
14 Oreo cookies (1 1⁄2 cups)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
16 ounces cream cheese, softened
3⁄4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray a 9-inch tart pan with nonstick cooking spray.

2. Add the Oreo cookies to a food processor and process until finely ground. Add the ground cookies and melted butter to a medium bowl and mix to combine. Press into the bottom of the prepared tart pan. Bake for 10 minutes, remove from the oven, and let cool for 15 minutes.

3. Add the cream cheese, brown sugar, and vanilla to the bowl of a stand mixer and beat until well combined. Add the chocolate chips and mix to combine. Pour into the cooled crust and refrigerate for 2 hours, until firm enough to cut into wedges.
