WHIPPED CHOCOLATE GANACHE

• In a small, heat-proof bowl, place chocolate chips
• Heat heavy cream in a saucepan until scalding
• Immediately pour heated cream over the chocolate chips. Do not touch. Cover and let sit for 5 minutes to soften chips
• Whisk until smooth. Cover with a circle of parchment paper - touching the top of the liquid to prevent a skin from forming - and cool for 10 minutes at room temperature before placing in the fridge to chill completely
• Once cold, whip until fluffy with a mixer. Be careful not to overwhip, which will make the ganache grainy

OREO CRUST

• Preheat the oven to 350F and grease your mini tart pans or ramekins
• In a bowl, melt butter. Add Oreo crumbs to the bowl with melted butter and combine with a spatula. Should be thick and quite wet. Break up any large chunks
• Pour into prepped tins and lightly press into bottom and edges of pan. Press into the edges first and then evenly press into the bottom
• Freeze for eight minutes to re-firm butter
• If using tart pans, place them on a cookie sheet and then bake for seven minutes. The center might puff as it bakes, so once you remove them from the oven, use a spoon to gently push down the center of each crust so it cools flat
• Cool completely

BROWNIE

• Preheat oven to 325F
• In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt butter
• Stir in cocoa powder, brown sugar, and salt until well combined and glossy
• Whisk in egg until smooth and shiny
• Fold in flour just until only a few dry streaks remain—don’t overmix. Stir in chocolate chips if using
• Pour evenly between the two baked Oreo crusts and bake 16-18 minutes, until the edge is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out with a little brownie batter on it
• Let cool completely

ASSEMBLY

• To remove crust from the tart pans - just place a cup upside down and gently push the sides down. Use a knife to gently pop the bottom of the tart pan from the base of the Oreo crust. If you used ramekins, you can skip this step
• When the brownie and crust are completely cooled, split the whipped ganache over the two cooled pies
• For a cute touch, crumble a little extra Oreo and sprinkle on top OR grate a little chocolate over the ganache
