Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups chocolate cookie crumbs
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
• ⅔ cup granulated sugar
• 2 eggs
• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 2 cups fresh raspberries
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• ¼ cup water
• ¼ cup raspberry jam

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter, mixing until the crumbs are evenly coated.
3. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch (23 cm) pie dish, creating an even crust.
4. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Once done, remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
5. In a heatproof bowl, melt the chopped semi-sweet chocolate over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
6. In a separate bowl, beat together the granulated sugar, eggs, softened butter, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
7. Gradually add the melted chocolate to the sugar mixture, beating well after each addition.
8. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until stiff peaks form.
9. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until well combined.
10. Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled crust, spreading it evenly.
11. In a small saucepan, combine the raspberries, cornstarch, water, and raspberry jam.
12. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and the raspberries break down, about 5 minutes.
13. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
14. Pour the raspberry filling over the chocolate filling, spreading it evenly.
15. Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until set.
16. Serve chilled, garnished with additional fresh raspberries if desired.
