We wanted to try a new pie this year for Thanksgiving. I saw a billboard with a raspberry pie that looked really good. So a web search resulted in several recipes for raspberry pies. This one for raspberry cream looked the best, we tweaked it a little and it turned out really good. It would be a great pie on a hot summer day.
FILLING:
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
2/3 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons orange juice
1/2 teaspoon orange extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped
TOPPING:
3/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
3 tablespoons water
1 cup fresh raspberry
3 cups frozen raspberries
DIRECTIONS
Use a graham cracker crust.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, confectioners'
sugar, orange juice, extract, and vanilla until light and fluffy. Fold in
whipped cream. Spread into crust. Chill until serving.
Mash raspberries and force through a screen to remove seeds.
In a small saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch; stir in
water and 2 cups mashed raspberries.
Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes
or until thickened. Transfer to a bowl; refrigerate until chilled. Spread topping over filling. Garnish with fresh berries.
