Ingredients

  1. 9 tablespoons (1 stick plus 1 tablespoon) cool unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  2. 3/8 cup sugar
  3. 1 egg yolk
  4. 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  5. 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  6. Scant 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  7. 1/4 cup cocoa powder, preferably Dutch-process, plus extra for rolling
  8. 6 egg yolks
  9. 4 eggs
  10. 1/4 cup sugar
  11. 18 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted
  12. 10 tablespoons (1 stick plus 2 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
  13. 1 cup raspberries
  14. Whipped cream for serving, optional

Instructions

  1. Crust: Cream the butter and sugar in a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or using a hand mixer) until fluffy. Add the egg yolk and vanilla and mix. Stir the remaining ingredients together, then add to the butter mixture and mix. Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for 1 hour. Meanwhile, sprinkle a work surface with cocoa. Roll the dough out to about 1/8-inch thick, then cut rounds to fit the tops of the pies.
  2. Filling: Heat the oven to 375 degrees F. Combine the egg yolks, the whole eggs, and the sugar in a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment and whip until fluffy and light. Stir the melted chocolate into the egg mixture. Stir in the melted butter.
  3. Use a ladle or pitcher to divide the filling among 10 to 12 ramekins. Gently push 3 raspberries down into each one. Arrange the ramekins on a baking sheet. Bake the pie filling for 6 minutes. Remove the pies but leave the oven on. Top each pie with a round of chocolate crust and bake another 8 to 10 minutes, until crisp. Let cool slightly and serve with whipped cream. Or let cool completely and rewarm before serving. Serve the same day.
