Fancy Fudge Dessert
"This is rich and chocolaty. Many of my friends request this as their birthday cake. It is very simple to make, but always gets rave reviews. Other jams can be substituted for the raspberry."

ingredients
- cooking spray
- 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate
- 1⁄2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1⁄2 cup sifted flour
- 1⁄4 cup seedless raspberry jam
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, preferably unpasteurized
- grated chocolate, for garnish
directions
- Preheat oven to 300°F.
- Press a sheet of foil into a 9-inch pie pan; spray with cooking spray thoroughly.
- Melt the chocolate with butter over low heat; remove from heat and stir in sugar and vanilla.
- Quickly stir in beaten eggs.
- Sift flour over batter and blend in; do not overmix.
- Pour into prepared pan.
- Bake in the center of the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center of pie comes out clean.
- Do not overbake.
- Cool on a wire rack.
- Turn out onto serving plate; peel off foil.
- Melt jam in microwave by cooking on high for 20-30 seconds and stirring until completely melted.
- Pour over cooled pie, spreading to cover top completely.
- Refrigerate to set jam while preparing whipped topping.
- Whip cream until stiff.
- Spread or pipe over pie within a couple of hours of serving.
- Sprinkle grated semi-sweet chocolate over top.
- Serve chilled.
- This is very rich, so I don't add any sugar to the cream and serve it in very small slices.
- When fresh raspberries are in season, I decorate the top with berries, pipe a little of the whipped cream around the edge and serve the additional whipped cream on the side.
- In winter I sometimes puree defrosted frozen berries and serve it on the side.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
My husband, Allen, and I have been married over 30 years, and we have two young adult children. I didn't really know how to cook when we first married, but Allen was such a willing guinea pig, and so supportive of my efforts, that cooking and baking became a passion. I like to try new recipes and my family enjoys eating them (most of the time!). I work full time as a teacher consultant and really enjoy working with students with special needs.
