Chocolate-Raspberry Delight Pie
- 1 prebaked 9-inch Traditional Pastry Piecrust shell (page 6)
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 18 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/2 cups whole milk
- 4 large egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 3 ounces chopped unsweetened chocolate
- 1/2 cup Fudgy Brownies chunks (page 140) or use a store-bought variety
- 1/8 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup Raspberry Jam (page 192)
- 2 cups Chocolate Whipped Cream (page 193)
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries (washed and dried)
- To prepare the filling, in a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt.
- Whisk in the milk and egg yolks until they are well combined.
- Place the mixture over medium heat, constantly whisking and scraping the sides of the pan.
- When the cream starts to bubble and thicken, add the butter, 1 tablespoon at a time.
- When all the butter is mixed in, add the vanilla.
- Finally, add the chocolate a little at a time, giving each addition of chocolate the chance to melt into the filling before adding more.
- When the chocolate has smoothly melted and the cream thickens, remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the filling to cool for 15 minutes.
- Stir in the brownie chunks and chocolate chips.
- To assemble the pie, spread the raspberry jam evenly across the bottom of the pie shell.
- Pour the cream filling over the raspberry jam, covering it thoroughly.
- Cover the pie tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
- When ready to serve, remove the pie from the refrigerator and remove the plastic wrap.
- Evenly distribute the chocolate whipped cream across the top of the pie.
- If you choose, use a pastry bag to pipe the whipped cream or offset spatula to spread it to create a more finished look.
- Distribute the fresh raspberries across the whipped cream for decoration.
- Chocolate-Raspberry Delight Pie should be served cold.
- It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
