Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust:

    - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

      - In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.

        - Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden. Let cool completely.

          Make the Chocolate Filling:

            - In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until just simmering. Remove from heat and add the chocolate chips; stir until melted and smooth.

              - In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt together until light and creamy.

                - Gradually pour the warm chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.

                  - Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 5 minutes). Do not boil.

                    - Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.

                      Prepare the Raspberry Layer:

                        - In a small saucepan, combine raspberries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, gently stirring until the raspberries break down and the mixture thickens slightly (about 5-7 minutes).

                          - Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.

                            Assemble the Pie:

                              - Once the chocolate filling has set, pour the raspberry mixture over the chocolate layer, spreading it evenly. Refrigerate for another 30 minutes to let the layers meld.

                                Make the Whipped Cream Topping:

                                  - In a medium bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.

                                    - Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the top of the raspberry layer.

                                      Garnish and Serve:

                                        - Garnish with additional fresh raspberries and dark chocolate shavings for an elegant touch.

                                          - Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your delightful chocolate raspberry pie!
