With just these four main ingredients you are ready to get started; vegan butter, 7 Oreos, vegan chocolate chips, and of course our BAMnut Milk, for this recipe using the BAMnut Barista version. For decoration on top, we decided to use raspberries, although you can use any fruit you like, whipped cream, or even just leave it plain.

Here’s how you put it together so you can enjoy it;

First, to create the tart shell, pulse your Oreos and melted butter in a food processor until their combined in a crumbly mixture. Then put the mixture into a tart shell/form to create the base shape, for it to become firm place it in the freezer for 30-40 minutes allowing it to set.

Moving onto the filling; in a saucepan, bring the BAMnut Barista Milk to a boil, when boiling mix in the chocolate chips until they have melted. Once the tart shell has fully set in the freezer take it out and pour the melted mixture into the shell. Lastly, let everything set in the fridge for 3-4 hours, or even overnight if you have the time, then enjoy!
