Description

Delight in this creamy and refreshing No Bake Raspberry Cream Pie, featuring a smooth cream cheese and whipped cream filling studded with fresh raspberries, all nestled in a crunchy graham cracker crust. Perfect for summer gatherings or a quick, elegant dessert without turning on the oven.


Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 (9-inch) graham cracker crust (store-bought or homemade)

Filling

  • 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries (plus extra for garnish)
  • 2 tablespoons raspberry jam (optional, for swirl or glaze)

Garnish

  • Fresh mint leaves (optional)


Instructions

  1. Prepare the cream cheese mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no lumps.
  2. Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, use a mixer to whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form, which means the cream holds its shape firmly when the beaters are lifted.
  3. Combine mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, combining carefully to maintain the airy texture without deflating the whipped cream.
  4. Add raspberries and jam: Set aside a few raspberries for garnish. Fold the remaining raspberries into the cream filling. If using raspberry jam, swirl it lightly through the filling for extra flavor and a pleasant color variation.
  5. Fill the crust and chill: Spoon the filling evenly into the prepared graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, allowing it to fully set and firm up.
  6. Garnish and serve: Before serving, decorate the pie with the reserved fresh raspberries and optionally fresh mint leaves for a beautiful presentation and fresh flavor boost.

Notes

  • For a firmer set and easier slicing, chill the pie overnight.
  • Frozen raspberries can be used as a substitute for fresh raspberries; just be sure to thaw and drain them thoroughly to prevent excess moisture in the filling.
  • This pie pairs excellently with a drizzle of melted white chocolate or a dusting of powdered sugar for added sweetness and decoration.
