Prep: Grease a 9′ tart or pie dish and set aside. Melt the butter.
Crust: Add the Oreo cookies to a food processor with a S-blade attached. Pulse a few times to get a crumbly texture, then add in the melted butter. Process for 45 to 60 seconds, scraping the sides as necessary. A uniform ball of dough that is slightly crumbly should form. Press the dough into the tart dish and set aside.
Melt the Chocolate: melt the chocolate using either the microwave or a double boiler
Microwave: chop the chocolate roughly into small chunks and place in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 60 seconds, then use a clean and dry spatula to stir well; continue to microwave the chocolate in 20 second intervals, pausing to stir well. Once the chocolate is 80% melted, remove from the microwave and stir with the spatula until completely melted.
Double-Boiler : fill a sauce pan with 1-2″ of water, then place a glass bowl over the top. Bring the water to a boil over high-heat, then reduce to medium-low heat. Chop the chocolate roughly into small chunks and place in the glass bowl. Allow the heat from the bowl to melt the chocolate, using a clean and dry spatula to stir well. Continue warming the chocolate until it is 80% melted, then carefully remove the bowl from the pot. Stir with the spatula until completely melted.
Filling: Quickly rinse out the food processor and return to the base. Add the tofu, milk, coffee, and peppermint extract to the processor and pulse until a smooth texture forms. Use a spatula to add the melted chocolate to this mixture, then process for an additional 45 to 60 seconds, until a thick and shiny chocolate “pudding” forms.
Let it Set: Transfer the chocolate filling into the pan and use a spatula to spread it around evenly (or make a fun design! Place the tart into the fridge for at least 4 hours to let the chocolate thicken and set.
Serve: remove from the refrigerator, slice, and serve as desired. Leftovers will keep covered in the fridge for up to 5 days, or can be pre-sliced and frozen for up to two months. If you freeze, let the slices thaw and come to room temperature before
