Ingredients
For the Crust:
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Filling:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Raspberry Topping:
1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust:
In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar. Stir in the melted butter until fully moistened. Press the mixture into a 9-inch pie dish, packing it tightly. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to set. - Make the Filling:
Beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream and vanilla extract to stiff peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. - Assemble the Pie:
Spoon the cream cheese filling into the chilled graham cracker crust and smooth it evenly. Return to the fridge and chill for at least 2 hours until firm. - Prepare the Raspberry Topping:
In a saucepan, cook raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice over medium heat, mashing the raspberries to form a sauce. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, then cool completely. - Top the Pie:
Once the pie is set, pour the cooled raspberry sauce over the filling. Garnish with fresh raspberries and serve.
