Ingredients
Gather the following ingredients for the No Bake Raspberry Pie:
- Gelatin: use powdered gelatin.
- Water: The gelatin is sprinkled over the water. Use cold water as it is necessary for the gelatin to set up properly.
- Cream cheese: use full-fat, room temperature cream cheese.
- Granulated sugar
- Lemon: this recipe uses the zest and juice of one lemon. If you prefer a more zesty flavor use two lemons.
- Heavy cream
- Raspberries: use the freshest, reddest raspberries you can find.
- Raspberry jam: you only need a few tablespoons of raspberry jam. I use seedless but feel free to use one with seeds if you prefer.
- Pie crust: use a store-bought graham cracker crust.
See recipe card for quantities.
Instructions
Sprinkle gelatin over cold water. Set aside.
Place room temperature cream cheese, zest and juice of one lemon, and granulated sugar in a mixing bowl. Mix together until combined and no lumps remain.
Place heavy whipping cream in a separate bowl and whip to medium peaks (medium peaks will hold their shape, but the tips of the peaks curl slightly when the beaters are lifted).
Melt gelatin until just slightly warm. Stir into bowl with cream cheese, sugar and lemon flavorings.
Add whipped cream to mixing bowl and fold gently until completely incorporated.
Spread 2 Tablespoons of raspberry jam in the bottom of the graham cracker crust. Place enough raspberries over the jam to fill the bottom of the pie crust. Reserve remaining raspberries to decorate top of pie.
Reserve one cup of cream filling to pipe over the top of pie. Pour remaining filling over the raspberries and smooth the top with an offset spatula. Place the cup of reserved filling in a pastry bag fitted with a star piping tip. Pipe rosettes around the outer edge of the pie. Add raspberries as desired.
Place pie in the refrigerator for 2 hours or until chilled thoroughly. Slice and enjoy!
