INGREDIENTS

• FOR THE CRUST
• Cooking spray, for pan
• 24 Oreos
• 6 tbsp. butter, melted
• Pinch kosher salt
• FOR FILLING
• 1 1/2 lb. dark or semi-sweet chocolate, finely chopped
• 3 c. heavy cream

DIRECTIONS

2. Press mixture into bottom of pan and set aside. 
3. Place chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl. Bring cream just to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high. Pour over chocolate; add a pinch of salt. Let stand 10 minutes, then stir until smooth and shiny. 
4. Meanwhile, hull 3 cups of the strawberries. Leave hull on remaining 1 cup of strawberries and halve them. 
5. Scrape the chocolate ganache mixture into springform. Press the hulled strawberries into the ganache and smooth the top over with a spatula. Refrigerate until set, at least 2 hours.
