Rich and creamy, this Raspberry Cream Pie is calling all raspberry lovers.
Start by making a syrup from fresh raspberries so that it has time to cool.
It’s very simple to do. Just mix fresh raspberries, corn starch and sugar in a saucepan.
Heat and stir until it bubbles and thickens. Pour into a bowl and throw into the fridge to chill.
Next make the crust by crushing the vanilla wafers and mixing with pecans and butter. Press into a greased 9″ pie plate.
Now make the cream filling by whipping together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, sour cream and vanilla.
Stir the raspberry syrup into the cream mixture.
Whip the whipping cream to stiff peaks and gently fold into the raspberry mixture.
Pour the filling into the pie crust and smooth. Garnish with raspberries.
Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Overnight is best.
ENJOY!!!
