Oreo Nutella Tarts with Fresh Strawberries

07Feb11

Did you know February 5th was World Nutella Day? If you didn’t, it’s ok to celebrate late 🙂 Start with this crazy easy tart made with a Graham Cracker and Oreo crust – and pile on the Nutella and whatever fresh fruits you have on hand… This week the grocery store has surprising good looking winter strawberries, so I went with those. I added oreos to a graham cracker crust I made last weekend (for mini Oreo chesecakes!), and it was so good I wanted to try it again. I thought this would be the perfect opportunity, and it was. Hope you like!

Oreo Nutella Tarts with Fresh Strawberries (makes 4 5″ tarts)
1 Packet Graham Crackers (8-10 full rectangles)
1 Package Oreo Minis (or about 7 or 8 full size oreos)
1 Stick of Salted Butter, melted (1/2 a cup)
1/2 cup Nutella (or other chocolate/nut spread like this or this)
Fresh Fruit (sliced Strawberries, Raspberries, Blueberries or any other kind of fruit)
Whipped Cream (optional)

Preheat to 350. Using a food processor, pulse the oreos and graham crackers until they are uniformly ground. Drizzle in the melted butter and pulse again until the butter is distributed. Spray the bottom of 4 5″ springform pans with Pam or another non-stick spray, and divide the mixture evenly between them. Using the back of a big spoon and flatten out the mixture inside the pans. Bake for a quick ten minutes, just to crisp up the crust, and allow to cool.

In a microwave safe bowl, nuke the nutella for 30-45 seconds or until it spreads easily. Spread 2 Tbsp on top of each crust, but don’t go all the way to the edge. If you do, it’s ok, it’ll just make it messier to get out of the pan!

Spread the fruit on top and chill for an hour or so until the fruit has set in the Nutella. When ready to serve, remove the outside of the pan and serve on the bottom plate. Top with whipped cream if you want!
