How to Make Chocolate Pumpkin Tart

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Crush 1 ½ cups wafer cookies (or Oreos) into fine crumbs. Stir in ¼ cup granulated sugar.
Add 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) melted unsalted butter and stir until crumbs are evenly moistened.
Press crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch removable-bottom tart pan.
Place the tart pan on a rimmed baking sheet.
Bake for 12 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden.
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.
Once the crust is baked, pour the warm chocolate ganache evenly over it. Spread with a spatula to create an even layer.
Refrigerate the tart for 5 minutes to allow the chocolate to set slightly.
Brush the sides of the tart pan with melted butter.
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.
Pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared chocolate crust.
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.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before unmolding and serving.
Unmold the tart carefully from the tart pan.
