Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 9-inch graham cracker crust (store-bought or homemade)
Filling
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries (plus more for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon raspberry jam (optional, for extra flavor)
Garnish
- Whipped cream (optional)
- Mint leaves (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain for a silky filling.
- Whip Heavy Cream: In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form, creating a light and airy texture for the pie filling.
- Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture carefully until fully combined, maintaining the fluffiness of the whipped cream.
- Add Raspberries: In a small bowl, mash 1/2 cup of the fresh raspberries and mix with raspberry jam if using. Then fold this along with the remaining whole raspberries into the cream mixture, taking care not to overmix to preserve berry chunks.
- Assemble the Pie: Spoon the creamy filling into the graham cracker crust and smooth the top evenly with a spatula.
- Chill: Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set to allow flavors to meld and the filling to firm up.
- Serve: Before serving, garnish the pie with whipped cream, extra fresh raspberries, and mint leaves if desired for a fresh and attractive presentation.
Notes
- Adjust sugar quantity for a tarter or sweeter pie according to your preference, or swirl additional raspberry jam on top before chilling.
- This pie can be made up to a day in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator for convenience.
- Best served chilled to enjoy its creamy and refreshing texture.
