For the Chocolate Crust:

1 ½ cups chocolate cookie crumbs (around 20-25 cookies, crushed)

⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

For the Raspberry Filling:

2 cups fresh raspberries (reserve a handful for garnish)

½ cup granulated sugar

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Chocolate Ganache:

8 oz semisweet chocolate, chopped

1 cup heavy cream

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Garnishing:

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chocolate Crust:

    - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

      - In a mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.

        - Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Use the back of a measuring cup to get an even layer.

          - Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, then remove and allow it to cool completely.

            Make the Raspberry Filling:

              - In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the fresh raspberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Stir gently, mashing some of the raspberries as you go.

                - Cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the mixture starts to bubble and thicken. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before pouring it into the prepared chocolate crust. Spread evenly and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.

                  Prepare the Chocolate Ganache:

                    - In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the chopped semisweet chocolate and heavy cream. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

                      - Remove from heat and stir in unsalted butter and vanilla extract until well combined.

                        Assemble the Pie:

                          - Once the raspberry filling has set in the fridge, pour the warm chocolate ganache over the raspberry layer, spreading it evenly.

                            - Refrigerate the pie for a minimum of 2 hours, or until the ganache is completely firm.

                              Serve and Garnish:

                                - Before serving, top the pie with a dollop of whipped cream, a few fresh raspberries, and dark chocolate shavings, if desired.

                                  Enjoy a slice of this heavenly Chocolate Raspberry Pie that beautifully balances the richness of chocolate and the tartness of raspberries!
