1.NO BAKE OREO CHOCOLATE TART
Looking for something to make for someone special on their birthday? Well, here are two simple perfect recipes which require no frills. I will be using some simple easily available ingredients to make these. One such ingredient is world’s favorite cookie biscuit, Oreo biscuits and another would be of course some chocolates. Just to make it more special I will be decorating one of the dishes with some berries and other with some grated coconut and colorful sprinkles. I mostly prefer strawberries or may be raspberries because of their red color which symbolizes love and of course for their immense sweetness, but u can use any berries which u like. The recipes I am talking about are very easy to make plus requires very less time to prepare so that u can end up spending more time with your special one than in the kitchen. So let’s get started, shall we?

Ingredients for Garnish:
- Strawberries: 10 to 12 Based on size of your tart tray.

Grease the tray with very little butter and add the Oreo biscuit mixture and spread it evenly and press it with a spoon or your fingers so that the crust is of same size throughout the tart pan. Keep this in the freeze while u make the ganache.
