Contest-Winning Raspberry Cream Pie (No Bake)


WOW!  It sure is hard to believe summer is ending but alas...tis true, so...
 I wanted to give you one last NO BAKE dessert before jacket weather hits! 



This is a Taste of Home recipe so you know it's gonna be delicious. 
I normally reduce the sugar amount and made this sugar free using xylitol, and Sukrin powdered sugar. (sugar free)

It looks like this - I buy it at Amazon.  Yes, it's pricey, but some things are just worth splurging on, especially when it tastes as good as this does! 

I love that it doesn't have an after taste and works nicely in my desserts...
baked or unbaked. 

You can use fresh or frozen raspberries, so this is a tasty dessert to serve
all four seasons! 

Another change I made was that it called for orange liqueur...I used 1/2 tsp. of orange extract instead.  I noticed a little bit of 'zip' to the pie because of it too...soo good! 

Hope you enjoy this delightful pie as much as we did. 


CONTEST WINNING RASPBERRY CREAM PIE 

CRUST: 

1-1/2 c. crushed vanilla wafers (about 45 wafers)
(graham crackers work also) 
1/3 c. chopped pecans
2 Tb. sugar or sugar substitute
1/4 c. butter, melted

FILLING:

1 pkg. (8 ozs.) cream cheese, softened
2/3 c. powdered sugar 
(or sugar free substitute)
2 Tb. orange liqueur
(or 1/2 tsp. orange extract), or more to taste
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 c. heavy whipping cream, whipped ** (See TIP below)

TOPPING:  
3/4 c. sugar (or substitute)
3 (heaping) Tb. cornstarch
3 Tb. water
2-1/2 c. fresh or frozen raspberries, divided

In medium bowl, combine wafer crumbs, pecans, sugar and butter. Press onto bottom and sides of a greased 9" pie plate. 

In large bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, liqueur and vanilla until light and fluffy.  Fold in whipped cream; spread into crust.  Chill until ready to serve. 

In small saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch; stir in water and 1-1/2 c. raspberries.  Bring to a boil; stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Transfer to a bowl; refrigerate until chilled. 

Spread topping over the filling or dollop topping on each slice
when serving.  Garnish with remaining berries. 

It's a beautiful work of art! 


**TIP - For best results, chill glass bowl and mixer beaters for 5 - 10 minutes before whipping so you'll get more volume.
