  • Cuisine: American
  • Diet: Vegetarian

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup heavy cream, divided
  • 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
  • 2 large eggs (use pasteurized eggs if concerned about raw consumption)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries
  • Powdered sugar for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Press into the bottom of the pan to form an even crust.
  3. Bake crust for 10 minutes, then cool completely.
  4. Heat 1/2 cup heavy cream in a saucepan until it simmers. Remove from heat and stir in chopped chocolate. Let sit for 2 minutes, then whisk until smooth.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs with vanilla extract. Slowly add the melted chocolate mixture, whisking constantly to combine.
  6. In another bowl, whip the remaining 1/2 cup heavy cream to soft peaks. Gently fold into the chocolate mixture.
  7. Pour the mousse over the cooled crust. Gently press fresh raspberries into the mousse layer.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until set.
  9. Before serving, optionally dust with powdered sugar. Remove the springform ring, slice, and serve chilled.

Notes

  • Use pasteurized eggs if concerned about raw egg consumption.
  • Let the crust cool fully before adding mousse to prevent melting.
  • For a deeper flavor, use dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet.
  • Don’t skip squeezing the mousse gently after adding raspberries for better integration.
