Ruby Chocolate Deep Dish Pie

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

   Tip: Use oven mitts for safe handling of hot pans.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, confectioner's sugar, and salt. Add the melted butter and mix until a crumbly dough forms.

   Tip: Use a pastry blender for easier mixing.

3. 3

   Press the dough into the bottom of a 23cm deep dish pie dish. Chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.

   Tip: Don't overwork the dough to avoid toughness.

4. 4

   In a separate mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.

   Tip: Be gentle to avoid deflation.

5. 5

   Melt the ruby chocolate chips in a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each interval.

   Tip: Don't overheat, as it may seize up.

6. 6

   In a separate saucepan, heat the ruby chocolate ganache over low heat until smooth.

   Tip: Whisk constantly to avoid lumps.

7. 7

   Pour the whipped cream into the pie crust, followed by the melted chocolate ganache.

   Tip: Smooth the top with an offset spatula.

8. 8

   Bake the pie for 35-40 minutes or until the edges are set and the center is still slightly jiggly.

   Tip: Don't open the oven door during the baking time.

9. 9

   Let the pie cool to room temperature before serving.

   Tip: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set the filling.

10. 10

    Garnish with fresh raspberries or chocolate shavings, if desired.

    Tip: Add a sprinkle of confectioner's sugar for extra visual appeal.
