Recipe Tips

If you're unfamiliar with melting chocolate, this tutorial on how to melt chocolate will be useful.

I think melting chocolate is easier and more foolproof using a double boiler but if you want to go with the microwave method, I won't stand in your way!

Top with Chocolate Ganache

Do raspberries and chocolate pair well?

Yes. Because chocolate, especially dark chocolate is bitter, the candy matches wonderfully with sweet fruits like berries, including raspberries, strawberries and blackberries.

Chocolate Raspberry Pie: No-Bake

Print

Chocolate Raspberry Pie is a no-bake dessert featuring a chocolate cookie crust, a layer of raspberry puree and a layer of lightly sweetened cream cheese crowned with a chocolate ganache topped with more raspberries for garnish (optional, of course).

Prep Time: 30 minutes

Additional Time: 1 hour

Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 9-inch chocolate cookie crust or graham cracker crust
• Raspberry Puree Layer
• 2 cups frozen raspberries
• 3 Tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
• Filling
• 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
• ⅓ cup granulated sugar
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ cup heavy cream
• Chocolate Ganache Layer
• 2 ounces of chocolate (semi-sweet or dark)
• 3 Tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions

Prepare raspberry puree by bringing raspberries, cornstarch and sugar to a boil in a sauce pan and then reduce heat and simmer for about 8 minutes or until mixture has thickened slightly and berries have largely broken down.

Set aside. Prepare the cheesecake mixture. Beat heavy cream on medium speed using a hand mixer or stand mixer until soft peaks form.

Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese, vanilla and sugar until thoroughly mixed and smooth with no little lumps of cream cheese remaining. Fold in the cream you've whipped and stir together. Pour raspberry mixture onto the prepared pie crust. Top the raspberry puree with the cream cheese. Spread with a spatula or an offset knife to the edges of the pie crust. Chill. Make the chocolate ganache topping while the chocolate raspberry pie chills. Heat 3 Tablespoons of heavy cream either in a small sauce pot on your stove top or in a microwave in a glass bowl until boiling. Pour the cream over 2 ounces of chocolate--either chocolate chunks or chips or disks. Stir the cream and chocolate together until the two combine and become glossy. Remove pie from fridge and pour chocolate ganache over the top. Spread into a thin layer with an offset spatula. Chill until ready to serve.

Notes

You have choices for the chocolate in the chocolate ganache layer. Use either semi-sweet chocolate chips or dark chocolate disks or chunks. You could also use bittersweet chocolate chunks.

Garnish with fresh raspberries (optional).

Whipped cream is also an optional garnish.

Store pie, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Freeze pie in a freezer-safe resealable container for up to a week. Thaw in fridge for a couple of hours before serving.
