Ingredients For No Bake Chocolate Tart

This 5-ingredient tart consists of 3 parts: The crust, the filling, and the whipped topping.

The crust is a super simple recipe that’s made with graham cracker crumbs, butter, and sugar. It’s so easy, you don’t even have to bake it!

Next is the filling, which is made with heavy cream and chocolate chips, just like a Chocolate Ganache. The difference is that the tart filling is two parts chocolate, one part cream as opposed to equal parts of each.

The finishing touch is a dollop of Whipped Cream. I prefer making my own since you only need sugar and whipping cream to make it.

You can also add sprinkles or chocolate shavings to make your tart look extra fancy!
