Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).

Prepare the pastry shell by lining it with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil to prevent it from sticking.

-
In a mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
-
Fold in the whipped cream gently until well combined.
-
Carefully spread the cream cheese mixture over the raspberry layer in the pastry shell, ensuring even coverage.

Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 1 hour to allow the layers to set.
-
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt together the chocolate and butter until smooth, then allow it to cool for 4-5 minutes to thicken slightly.
-
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the chilled pie, spreading it evenly to create a decadent topping.
