It’s crucial that this tart be frozen solid before slicing. If you are in and out of your freezer a lot, that may take longer than one day; err on the safe side!

Ingredients

8 Servings

3

tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

2

tablespoons malted milk powder, divided (optional)

1

14.3-ounce package Oreos, divided

3

tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

2

pints green mint chip ice cream

15

Andes crème de menthe thins or 8 After Eight mint chocolate thins

4

ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped

1

tablespoon light corn syrup
Pinch of kosher salt

½

cup heavy cream

Special Equipment

A 9-inch springform pan

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Pulse cocoa, 1 Tbsp. malted milk powder (if using), and two-thirds of Oreos in a food processor until coarsely ground with no large pieces remaining. With motor running, gradually add butter; process, scraping sides once, until mixture resembles wet sand (do not overprocess). Press mixture very firmly into bottom and 1½” up sides of springform pan. Freeze until firm, 20–25 minutes.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, peel away sides of containers from ice cream. Cut ice cream into 2″ pieces and place in a medium bowl. Let sit until slightly softened, about 5 minutes, then stir with a wooden spoon or large rubber spatula until the consistency of thick cake batter. Break remaining Oreos into large pieces; fold into ice cream along with mints.

    Step 3

    Scrape ice cream into crust; smooth top. Freeze until hard, at least 1 day.

    Step 4

    Just before serving, place chocolate, corn syrup, salt, and remaining 1 Tbsp. malted milk powder (if using) in a medium bowl. Bring cream to a simmer in a small saucepan; pour over chocolate. Let sit until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes; whisk until smooth. Pour over tart and spread to edges. Freeze until ganache is firm to the touch, 10–15 minutes. Cut tart into wedges with a hot dry knife to serve (run knife under hot water and wipe dry between slices).

    Step 5

    Do Ahead: Tart (without ganache) can be made 1 week ahead. Once solid, wrap in plastic; keep frozen.
