Raspberry Ganache Pie

This recipe is, obviously, part of Chocolate Pie Month. It sounded really good, and I've been going nuts sorting through so many chocolate recipes. I officially have "chocolate on the brain!"

Raspberry Ganache Pie

1 pkg. (8 squares = 8 oz.) Baker's semi-sweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 c. whipping cream
6 T. seedless raspberry jam, divided
1 graham cracker pie crust
2 c. fresh raspberries
1 T. water
1 t. dark chocolate cocoa for dusting
  1. In medium saucepan, heat cream with chocolate until chocolate is almost melted, stirring constantly.
  2. Remove from heat. Beat with whisk until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is well blended. Stir in 2 tablespoons of jam.
  3. Pour into crust. Dust with sifted cocoa.
  4. Refrigerate 4 hours.
  5. Arrange berries on top of pie.
  6. Microwave remaining jam and water in glass measuring cup on high for 20 seconds; stir until well blended. Brush/spoon onto berries.
  7. Keep pie refrigerated!!!






Option:
Thaw frozen raspberries to top pie.



...and this is what happens when I play with frozen raspberries that thaw out and get really juicy:

Raspberry Eeeek!!!!!
