Raspberries & cream pie is just the thing to round out your summer.
There’s always a magical time in summer when the organic raspberries go on sale for a ridiculously low price and I sort of lose my mind. Since there is no way to get local raspberries, those little containers are pretty pricey. But every year in the height of the season in California the little gems are priced to move, and I am grateful. So are my kids, who do their best to eat them all before I even get a crack.
If you’re lucky enough to sequester a few boxes from tiny hands, I highly recommend you make this pie. It’s incredibly easy, especially because there is no fruit prep involved aside from washing. I adore pies where you basically just dump things in, and think more pies need to exist this way.
The filling that surrounds the tart berries is a custard of sorts, made with sour cream, eggs, and a few other ingredients. I’m sure someone is going to ask if you can swap in Greek yogurt for the sour cream, and I’ll say sure! but be aware I haven’t done it. Either way you’ll end up with a pie, and I don’t think that’s a bad way to go.
After you pour the filling in, the pie gets topped with a streusel topping because why not. It all works beautifully together, with the tart and tangy and buttery and sweet vying for attention on your tongue. This is a go-to summer pie.
A raspberries & cream pie is also great for celebrations, like the little virtual birthday party we’re having today for my friend Kimmie over at Bake Love Give. She had the fun idea of having us make treats to share on our sites, since we all live too far from one another to actually celebrate in person. (OK, technically Kimmie lives in Dallas now but have you ever driven IH-35 on the almost-weekend? It’s not pretty.)
