Best Raspberry Custard Pie Recipe
With White Chocolate
And Fresh Raspberries

FOR THE SHORTBREAD CRUST

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/8 tsp. salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup butter
4 egg yolks
2 tbsp. whipping cream, (35% cream) (not whipped)
1 tbsp. lemon juice

FOR THE CUSTARD FILLING

3/4 cup whipping cream, (35% cream) (not whipped)
4 oz. white chocolate, chopped or chocolate chips (1/2 cup)
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries, divided
white chocolate shavings, optional, for garnish

Directions

FOR THE CRUST

In a bowl, combine the flour, salt and sugar and stir to combine.

Add the butter and, using a knife or a pastry blender, combine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Add the egg yolks, whipping cream and lemon juice and mix until mixture can be formed into a ball (if mixture is too dry, add a few teaspoons more of the cream).

Pat the dough into the bottom, and up the sides, of a 9" pie pan.

Using a fork, pierce the bottom and sides of the pie crust to avoid the crust from lifting while baking. (You may need to do this a few more times when it is baking.)

Bake the pie crust at 375Ÿ F for 13 - 15 minutes. Do not over bake - pie is going to be in oven with filling again:)

Allow to cool for 10 minutes.

FOR THE FILLING

In a pan, over low heat, melt the chocolate in the whipping cream.

In a medium size bowl, lightly beat the egg using an electric mixer on low speed.

While beating, gradually add the chocolate mixture, and the vanilla extract, beating on low speed for about 20 seconds.

Arrange 1 cup of the fresh raspberries on the bottom of the pie crust with their bottom (unopened) ends up.

Gently pour the filling mixture over the raspberries, without covering them completely.

Using a pie shield or aluminum foil, protect the outer edges of the crust from becoming too dark or burning.

Bake the pie at 325° F for about 35 minutes, or until the centre is FIRM.

Let stand at room temperature for a few hours before refrigerating.

Just prior to serving, garnish the pie with the remaining raspberries and white chocolate shavings.

Enjoy!
