I Have been wishing, hoping, waiting and procrastinating that I, like Martha Stewart and Ina Garten, was going to share all the great recipes collected and inherited throughout the years in a beautiful cookbook. I started that project a few years ago but was never able to finish and publish. I will use this blog to do just that!
Chocolate pie with fresh raspberries
This pie recipe is very easy and the result is simply delicious!
To make the crust:
Preheat the oven to 350F
In a bowl, combine 1 1/4 cup of cookie crumbs (you can use any kind of cookies - oreo, graham, ginger snaps, nila, etc) with 1/4 cup of brown sugar and 1/4 cup of melted semi-salted butter. Press lightly into an 8 inch pie plate. Bake for 10 minutes. Let cool completely.
To make the chocolate ganache:
Preheat the oven to 400F.
In a saucepan, using a whisk, heat 1 cup of heavy cream with 2 tablespoons of seedless raspberry jam. Turn off the heat and stir in 1 cup of dark chocolate chips and gently stir until all the chocolate is melted and incorporated. Whisk in 2 beaten eggs and stir in 1/4 cup of butter until the preparation is smooth. Pour the chocolate mixture on the cooled pie crust. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes. Allow to cool. Dust the top of the pie with cocoa powder and cover with fresh raspberries. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream if desired.
Voilà the best chocolate pie in the world, according to my family! Enjoy...
