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 Cups butter, softened
• 1 Cup white sugar
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) vanilla extract
• 3 Whole eggs
• 0.33 Cup seedless raspberry jam
• 1 Pinch raspberries, to taste
• 1 Pinch mint leaves, to taste
• 1 Pinch whipped topping, to taste

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 lightly with a fork until moistened. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to three days.
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 edge to form a 1-inch overhang. Fold the extra dough under itself and crimp the edges decoratively. Chill the pastry-filled pie pan for at least 20 minutes to prevent shrinkage.
3. Blind Bake the Crust: Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Line the pastry with a double layer of aluminum foil and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until the edge of the crust is golden, about 10 minutes. Remove the foil and weights, then bake for an additional 5 minutes until the crust is set. Allow to cool completely.
4. Prepare the Filling: Melt the chocolate in a double boiler and let it cool to room temperature while remaining fluid. In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter with an electric mixer 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, ensuring the mixture is smooth and creamy.
5. Assemble the Pie: Spread a thin layer of raspberry jam on the bottom of the cooled pie crust. Spoon the chocolate filling over the jam, smoothing the surface. Refrigerate the pie overnight to set.
6. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, top each slice with a dollop of whipped topping, three fresh raspberries, and a mint leaf for a refreshing finish. Enjoy your decadent creation!
