This decadent pie requires chocolate digestive biscuits, butter, cocoa powder, dark chocolate, heavy cream, raspberries, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. The three distinct layers - chocolate crust, ganache filling, and raspberry cream - create a perfect balance of rich and refreshing flavours.
Learn how to cook Chocolate Raspberry Cream Pie by creating three distinctive layers: first bake a chocolate biscuit crust, then fill it with silky dark chocolate ganache that needs to set in the refrigerator. Finally, top with a homemade raspberry cream made from fresh berry purée folded into whipped cream, and garnish with fresh raspberries and chocolate shavings for an impressive dessert.
Yes, this dessert is perfect for making ahead! The chocolate layer needs at least 4 hours to set, but the entire pie can be made up to 2 days in advance. Add the fresh raspberry garnish just before serving for the best appearance. The make-ahead quality makes it ideal for entertaining.
To ensure a crisp chocolate biscuit base, bake the crust for 10-12 minutes after pressing it firmly into your pie dish. This short baking time sets the butter and creates stability. Additionally, ensure the crust is completely cooled before adding the ganache filling to maintain its texture.
For silky-smooth chocolate ganache, finely chop the chocolate to ensure even melting, use high-quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa), and gently stir from the centre outward in concentric circles. Adding room temperature butter enriches the texture, while avoiding vigorous stirring prevents unwanted air bubbles.
