How to Make Chocolate Pumpkin Tart

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Crush 1 ½ cups wafer cookies (or Oreos) into fine crumbs. Stir in ¼ cup granulated sugar.
  3. Add 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) melted unsalted butter and stir until crumbs are evenly moistened.
  4. Press crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch removable-bottom tart pan.
  5. Place the tart pan on a rimmed baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 12 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden.
  7. While the crust is baking, prepare the chocolate ganache: Melt 6 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips with 2 tablespoons heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Set aside.
  8. Once the crust is baked, pour the warm chocolate ganache evenly over it. Spread with a spatula to create an even layer.
  9. Refrigerate the tart for 5 minutes to allow the chocolate to set slightly.
  10. Brush the sides of the tart pan with melted butter.
  11. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, 2 large eggs, ½ cup heavy cream, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of salt.
  12. Pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared chocolate crust.
  13. Bake on the rimmed baking sheet for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool completely at room temperature for 1 hour.
  14. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before unmolding and serving.
  15. Unmold the tart carefully from the tart pan.
