Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cubed), and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Mix until crumbly, then press firmly into a 9-inch pie dish. Bake for 15 minutes until golden. Let cool completely.
  2. Step 2: In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup fresh raspberries, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1 tbsp lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for 7 minutes until thickened and berries break down. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds. Let cool.
  3. Step 3: Melt 1/2 cup dark chocolate and 1/4 cup heavy cream together in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, stirring until smooth. Cool for 10 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Spread cooled raspberry compote over the cookie base. Pour melted chocolate mixture over compote and smooth evenly. Refrigerate for 2 hours before serving.
