Preparation

Step 1

In a food processor, grind up Oreos into a fine crumb. Pour crumbs in a microwave-safe bowl. Add 6 tablespoons unsalted butter. Microwave for 30-45 seconds until butter is melted. Stir to coat crumbs with butter.
Pour Oreo crumbs in the tart pan and use a spatula to press into the pan. Refrigerate crust until filling is ready.
Remove cream cheese from refrigerator and beat on medium speed for two minutes until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
In a small, microwave-safe dish, combine chocolate chips and butter. Melt for 30-60 seconds and stir until chocolate is melted and smooth. Pour melted chocolate over cream cheese and mix to combine.
Add malt powder and sugar to the cream cheese mix, beat on medium speed until well incorporate. Add 2 tablespoons of heavy whipping and beat on high speed for 2 minutes to incorporated additional air into the mousse. Pour filling into prepared tart shell. Refrigerate until mousse sets, 2-4 hours.
Before serving, prepare whipped cream. Whip heavy cream on medium high speed for several minutes until bubbly.
Add powdered sugar and beat on medium high until stiff peaks form. Pipe onto tart.
Use a sharp knife and chop chocolate bar into slivers. Sprinkle over tart.
