An Irresistible No Bake Chocolate Dessert
If diving into a Chocolate Tart recipe with ganache filling isn’t tempting enough, the fact that it’s only 5 ingredients makes this recipe even sweeter!
It’s a delicious dessert to serve dinner guests or share at a holiday gathering (trust me, you’ll get rave reviews)!
Requiring just 15 minutes of hands-on prep (and a few hours to chill), this chocolatey confection won’t keep you in the kitchen.

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!

How To Make No Bake Chocolate Tart
- Crust: Add graham cracker sheets to a blender or food processor and blend until fine crumbs form. Transfer crumbs to a medium bowl, add in the melted butter and the sugar and stir until evenly moistened.

2. Transfer the crust mixture to a 10-inch tart pan or springform pan and press crumbs evenly into the bottoms and up the sides.

3. Filling: Add chocolate chips and sugar to a medium bowl and set aside.
4. In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the heavy cream to a simmer then pour it over the chocolate chips and let sit for 4 to 5 minutes.

5. After the time is up, whisk until a rich chocolate ganache develops. Then, pour into the prepared graham cracker crust. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours before serving

6. Just before serving, whip heavy cream and sugar until light and fluffy and pipe onto the tart, sprinkle with chocolate sprinkles if desired. Serve chilled.

Recipe Tips & Variations
