This no bake Wow Butter Chocolate Tart is like a peanut butter tart without nuts of any kind! It’s silky smooth deliciousness in every bite and tastes like a peanut butter cup. Not being able to enjoy nuts does not mean giving up on that flavor. This tart is completely gluten free, nut free, egg free, and can easily be dairy free (vegan).
For the crust: Place the sandwich cookies in a zip top bag and seal it shut. Crush the cookies with the flat side of a meat mallet or a rolling pin until they have a sand-like consistency.
In a microwave safe medium bowl, melt the butter or vegan baking stick in 20 seconds increments until completely melted.
Pour the crushed cookies into the melted butter and stir with a spatula to combine.
Pour the mixture into the tart pan and press into the bottom and up the sides. I find using the flat bottom of a measuring cup really works well.
Pop in the fridge uncovered as you make the filling.
For the filling: In the large bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or using a hand held mixer, beat the softened butter or vegan baking stick until smooth and creamy. About 2-3 minutes.
Add the confectioners’ sugar, the vanilla and salt. Beat until combined.
Scrape the sides of the bowl if needed and add in the wow butter. As I said, wow butter tends to get super thick when beaten so just mix until all the ingredients are combined.
Use a spatula to scoop the filling into the tart crust. Gently use clean hands to press the filling down and even it out. Set aside.
Make the topping: In a large microwave safe bowl, heat the chocolate and the wow butter in 12 second increments, stirring after each time, until completely melted. Make sure not to overheat because then the wow butter and chocolate turn into a thick unworkable paste. You want the mixture to be liquid.
Once melted, pour it on top of the tart and smooth it out using an icing spatula or the back of a spoon.
Cover with foil and pop in the fridge overnight to solidify.
When ready to serve, take it out and let it sit on the counter for about 5 minutes. This makes cutting it easier.
Store leftovers wrapped in the fridge. Enjoy!
Notes
Vegan: use vegan baking sticks and dairy free chocolate chips.
