This is the perfect dessert for birthdays, holidays, and family gatherings. If you want/need to cut down on the prep time, you can use pre-made pie crusts. And, to make it all year round, you can use frozen raspberries instead of fresh ones. Let's get baking!
Ingredients
Crust
• 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 6 tablespoons butter, melted
Raspberry Topping
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 (6 ounce) package frozen raspberries OR 1 heaped cup fresh raspberries
• 1 1/2 teaspoons water
• 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• Pinch of salt
Cream Cheese Filling
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• Pinch of salt
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 3 cups frozen whipped topping (cool whip) thawed
Method
1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Mix together the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter, and press into a deep-dish 9-inch pie plate. Bake the crust for 6 minutes. Remove from the oven, and set aside.
2. Pour 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 1/4 cup granulated sugar into a medium saucepan. Stir to combine. Add the frozen raspberries OR 1 cup of fresh berries. Pour in the water and lemon juice. Stir to combine.
3. Over a medium heat, bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Let it boil for a couple of minutes, or until the desired consistency is reached.
4. Remove from the heat, then add 1 tablespoon butter, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Let the butter melt for just a bit, and then mix it in well. Remove from the heat and let it cool completely.
5. Place softened cream cheese into a medium mixing bowl. Beat it until smooth. Add 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Mix well for about 2 minutes.
6. Add 1/2 cup sour cream and 3 cups of cool whip. Mix until well combined and smooth - about 2 minutes.
7. Pour this filling onto the cooled graham cracker crust. You may have a bit leftover, depending on how deep your pie crust is.
8. Once the raspberry topping has cooled, pour it over the cream cheese filling.
9. Place in the fridge for 1 hour to chill and set before serving.
