A delicious and easy Raspberry Cream Pie made with fresh raspberries and a creamy filling, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups fresh raspberries (plus extra for garnish)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
- In a blender or food processor, puree the fresh raspberries until smooth. Strain the raspberry puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove the seeds, if desired. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice, mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
- Add the raspberry puree to the cream cheese mixture and fold gently until the color is uniform.
- Pour the raspberry cream filling into the cooled graham cracker crust and spread evenly.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
- Before serving, garnish with additional fresh raspberries on top. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
- For a chocolate twist, add ¼ cup of cocoa powder to the cream cheese mixture.
- Try substituting the raspberries with strawberries or blueberries for a different flavor profile.
