Time 3h5m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 recipe unbaked pie crust
¼ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 (12 ounce) package frozen raspberries
1 ½ tablespoons water
1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon butter
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups heavy cream
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
¾ cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
½ cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Roll out pie crust and gently lay inside a 9-inch pie dish. Lightly press the dough into the corners and sides of the dish to help prevent shrinkage. Prick the bottom of the pie crust a few times with a fork. Line the bottom with foil or parchment and fill with dried beans or pie weights.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove lining and beans or weights and continue baking until crust is golden brown, about 15 minutes more. Let cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, whisk sugar and cornstarch together in a medium saucepan. Stir in raspberries, water, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in butter and vanilla extract. Set aside to cool.
  • Pour heavy cream into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on medium speed until stiff peaks form. Transfer to another bowl.
  • Combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in the stand mixer bowl. Switch to the paddle attachment and beat until well combined, about 2 minutes. Fold in whipped cream and sour cream until evenly incorporated.
  • Spread cream filling into the cooled pie crust. Top with the cooled raspberry topping. Refrigerate pie until thoroughly chilled, 2 hours to overnight.
