Make it a chocolate raspberry mousse cake by subbing in 28 mini brownies, such as Entenmann’s Little bites, for the shortbread cookies. Omit the butter. In a food processor, pulse the brownie bites until crumbs form. Press the mixture into the bottom of the pan and chill for 20 minutes. Continue with the recipe as directed, substituting in 2 ounces of dark chocolate for the white chocolate.
