Ingredients

• 1 Cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) salt
• 0.33 Cup shortening
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) egg, whisked
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) water
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) lemon juice
• 3 Ounces (oz) semisweet chocolate, melted
• 0.75 Cup butter, softened
• 1 Cup white sugar
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) vanilla extract
• 3 Whole eggs
• 0.33 Cup seedless raspberry jam
• 1 Cup fresh raspberries
• 1 Cup fresh mint leaves
• 1 Cup whipped topping

Steps

1. Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Cut in the shortening using a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a separate bowl, mix the whisked egg, water, and lemon juice. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture, tossing with a fork until moistened. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
2. Roll and Shape the Crust: Roll the chilled dough to fit a 9-inch pie plate. Place the dough in the pie plate, trimming the edges to leave a 1-inch overhang. Fold the excess dough under and crimp the edges decoratively. Chill the crust in the pie plate for at least 20 minutes.
3. Blind Bake the Crust: Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Line the crust with a double layer of aluminum foil and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove the foil and weights. Bake for an additional 5 minutes until the crust is set and golden. Cool completely.
4. Prepare the Filling: Melt the chocolate in a double boiler and let it cool to room temperature. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until smooth. Gradually add the sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Blend in the cooled chocolate and vanilla extract. Add the eggs one at a time, beating on high speed for 2 minutes after each addition.
5. Assemble the Pie: Spread a thin layer of raspberry jam on the bottom of the cooled crust. Spoon the chocolate filling over the jam, smoothing the top. Refrigerate the pie overnight to set.
6. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, top each slice with a dollop of whipped topping, a few fresh raspberries, and a mint leaf. Enjoy this decadent dessert with friends and family!
