It’s no secret that I love to bake. But when I can make a decadent, rich, melt in your mouth dessert like this No Bake Chocolate Espresso Mousse Tart I can live without turning the oven on. You can easily break this tart down into 4 steps (5 if you count the chocolate shavings).

The 4 Step Breakdown on this No Bake Chocolate Espresso Mousse Tart:

  1. Make the crust – In the food processor grind the cookies into a fine crumb. Pour melted butter over the crumbs, mix and press into tart pan (9″ springform pan). Refrigerate.
  2. Make the ganache – Heat the heavy cream, espresso powder to just a boil. Pour over chocolate, add the Kahlua and vanilla. Stir until smooth and creamy. 
  3. Make the whipped cream, fold into cooled ganache, scoop over chilled crust. Refrigerate 6 hours minimum or over night. 
  4. Just before serving make whipped cream topping by whipping heavy cream until fluffy. Scoop onto mousse filling, spread with spatula.
  5. Sprinkle with chocolate shavings. Serve.
