1 recipe Cookie Pie Crust
2 recipes Pastry Cream
80 to 90 blackberries
¼ cup chopped 70% dark chocolate
- Start the Cookie Pie Crust to make the dessert cracker base.
- While the dough is cooling, prepare the Pastry Cream up to step 5, then set aside.
- When you've rolled out the dough, cut into disks - I use the top of a standard round plastic container, like a yoghurt container lid, for my cutting shape.
- Arrange the disks on a large cookie sheet to blind bake, as per the instructions in the recipe, except lightly place a second cookie sheet on top. This will prevent the dough from puffing up excessively. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove the top cookie sheet and bake another 5 minutes or until the crackers start to lightly brown.
- Allow the crackers to cool completely.
- Finish the Pastry Cream by following step 6 of the recipe which is to whisk in the heavy cream.
- Assemble the crackers by evenly distributing the Pastry Cream in dollops onto the crackers; arrange the blackberries on top of the cream and lightly press into the cream.
- In a double boiler melt the chocolate and drizzle lightly over the loaded crackers.
- You can either wait for the chocolate to set, or serve with the chocolate still semi-liquid.
- Have napkins at the ready - it's easy to get smeared with the chocolate!
