Guilty Pleasure Pie (Chocolate Grenache and Raspberry Pie)

Guilty Pleasure Pie

This pie recipe is a delicious Oreo crumb pie crust and Chocolate Ganache topped with fresh raspberry topping.  This rich and sinful dessert will leave you wanting more. Pictures of this berry dessert are decadent, sinful, hedonistic…but not nearly as amazing as the taste of the pie itself.  So simple to make, but it does take 2 hours to refrigerate.   So worth it.  Likely to become your go-to.

What is Chocolate Ganache?

Chocolate Ganache is a combination of chocolate (white, milk chocolate, semi-sweet, bittersweet chocolate, dark chocolate) and cream.  You can use chips or chocolate baking bars. Ganache is made by slowly simmering cream,  and then pouring the hot cream over chocolate, and whisking until the chocolate is entirely melted, smooth., silky and shiny.  Many cakes feature a silky ganache filling.  A greater proportion of cream will make the ganache more liquid, suitable for a topping.  A thinker ganache is used for truffles, a chocolate ganache tart, or the Guilty Pleasure Pie.  There are some variations with melted butter and flavored oils.

Raspberry Chocolate ganache is such an amazing combination.  We won’t blame you for wanting to keep this goodness to yourself, but we recommend you enjoy it with someone you love- Perfect for Valentine’s Day.  Clothing is optional- but please keep the chocolate in the appropriate places!
