Recipe by The Bon Appétit Test Kitchen The perfect dessert for your next barbecue: This chilled pie is an appealing combination of chocolate, berries, and lemon. And all it takes is a food processor and a whisk. The crust—made from chocolate wafer cookie

Ingredients

  • 7 ounces chocolate wafer cookies (about 32), coarsely broken
  • 1/2 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
  • 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/4 cup crème fraîche*
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon peel
  • 2 1/2 cups fresh raspberries (two 6-ounce containers)

Instructions

  1. Place broken cookies in processor. Using on/off turns, process until finely ground. Place chocolate chips, butter, and sugar in microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high at 15-second intervals until melted, stirring occasionally. Add chocolate mixture to processor and blend until combined. Press crumb mixture onto bottom and up sides of 9-inch glass pie dish (do not pack firmly). Chill crust while preparing filling.
  2. Whisk condensed milk, crème fraîche, lemon juice, and lemon peel in large bowl to blend. Add half of raspberries. Stir, pressing gently on some raspberries, until raspberries begin to break apart and filling turns pink. Transfer filling to crust. Chill until filling is set, about 2 hours.
