Super Easy Chocolate Oreo Torte
I chose to make this decadent torte for our Viva! Bake Off because it was the first dessert I made as a vegan and continues to be a staple at home. The recipe is super simple and such a crowd-pleaser for both vegans and non-vegans!

Ingredients
Base
- 30 Oreo cookies
- 85g/⅜ cup vegan butter/spread, melted (eg Naturli)
Ganache filling
- 170g/6 oz vegan dark chocolate (plus a little extra for topping)
- 170g/6 oz vegan milk chocolate
- 250ml/1 cup vegan double cream (eg Elmlea Plant)
- 55g/4 tbsp vegan butter/spread
Instructions
Base
- Pulse Oreo cookies in a food processor until finely ground, or alternatively place in a sandwich bag and crush using a rolling pin.
- Transfer crumbs to a medium bowl, add the melted butter then mix thoroughly until combined and moistened.
- Press the mixture onto the bottom of a 9-inch (23cm) round cake tin. A cake tin with a detachable base works best for this recipe.
- Place the tin in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Ganache
- Whilst the base is chilling, make the filling. In a medium heatproof bowl, place chopped dark and milk chocolate and set aside.
- In a small saucepan, heat the cream and vegan butter to a low boil.
- Remove from the heat and pour the mixture over the chocolate. Let it stand for one minute then stir the mixture until melted, combined and smooth.
- Pour the filling mixture over the chilled Oreo crust and refrigerate until set – for a minimum of four hours or overnight.
- Using a grater or vegetable peeler, grate the remaining chocolate over the top of the finished torte for decoration.
