Notes
Cookies can be crushed finely in a food processor or put cookies in a ziploc bag and crush with a rolling pin.
To make chocolate shavings take a vegetable peeler, run the blade over edge of dark chocolate bar making shavings.
To make 1 1/2 cups crushed cookie crumbs took one whole bag of cookies. If you are going to garnish the top of the tart with broken cookies you will need to buy two bags.
If the coconut cream thickens too fast and curdles (thick and lumpy) pour the hot mixture into a blender and blend on high for 2 minutes, it should go back to normal and you can proceed with the instructions.
