Description
This Raspberry Cream Pie is a luscious dessert with a buttery crust, silky cream cheese layer, and a fresh raspberry topping. It’s the perfect combination of tart and sweet in every bite.
Ingredients
- 1 pre-baked 9-inch pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 1/2 cups fresh raspberries
- 1/4 cup seedless raspberry jam
- 1 tbsp water
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with granulated sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
- Spoon the cream filling into the cooled pie crust and smooth the top.
- In a small saucepan, combine raspberry jam and water. Heat over low heat, stirring until smooth and slightly thinned.
- Arrange fresh raspberries evenly over the cream layer in the pie.
- Drizzle the raspberry glaze over the raspberries.
- Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
Notes
- Use stabilized whipped cream for better texture if making ahead of time.
- Frozen raspberries can be used but should be thawed and drained well.
- Graham cracker crust can be used as an alternative to pastry crust.
