Raspberries & Cream Pie

July 30, 2015 / Pies, Desserts, Featured

Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links.

Raspberries & cream pie is just the thing to round out your summer. Tart raspberries are surrounded by a sour cream custard and topped with streusel topping. This sweet, tart, and buttery pie is everything you could want in one bite.

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.

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.

Raspberries and Cream Pie is tart, tangy, buttery, and sweet.

So are my kids, who do their best to eat them all before I even get a crack, much less a chance to make raspberry pie bars, raspberry bran muffins, or raspberry fudge pudding cake. 

If you’re lucky enough to sequester a few boxes from tiny hands, I highly recommend you make this raspberries and cream pie.

Raspberries and cream pie is 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. Can we start a movement to create more of these recipes? I’ll start by contributing this one and maple pecan pie.

The creamy filling that surrounds the tart berries is a custard of sorts, made with sour cream, eggs, and a few other ingredients. Just whisk it together and pour it over the raspberries.

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.

CAN YOU USE GREEK YOGURT INSTEAD OF SOUR CREAM?

I’m sure someone is going to ask if you can swap in Greek yogurt for the sour cream in this pie filling.

I’ll say sure! but be aware I haven’t done it. While the texture should be the same, you’ll likely end up with a slightly different flavor and not quite as much richness as with the sour cream.

Either way you’ll end up with a pie, and I don’t think that’s a bad way to go.

Raspberries & cream pie is just the thing to round out your summer.

WHAT OTHER BERRIES CAN YOU USE?

Don’t love raspberries?

We can’t be friends anymore. KIDDING. More for me.

In all seriousness, I have made this pie with blueberries instead of raspberries and it is great! You could even try blackberries, strawberries or cherries instead.

I’d halve or quarter strawberries or cherries before adding them to the pie, so they’ll require a bit more prep than the raspberries. But hey, it’s still not a lot of work for a lot of deliciousness.

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.)

    I adore that you baked with raspberries for me. 🙂 Thanks for celebrating with me, this pie looks fabulous! I love custards and love even more that this pie doesn’t require fancy prep-work. Sounds like my kind of recipe.

    I think maybe this needs to be a “Welcome to Texas” pie that lands on my doorstep. Just sayin’.

    I need the magically priced organic raspberries to find their way to the east coast so I can recreate this 🙂

      @Amy I was pretty shocked at the price! It was crazy. You could also make this with frozen raspberries, just make sure they’re thawed and patted dry.

    What about this recipe would I need to change to make this in an 11 inch pie shell?

      Hey Courtney! You would need to increase your ingredients by approximately 1/3. Please note that I have not tried this in a larger pan, so I don’t know for certain how well it will work. If you try it, please let me know how it turns out!

    The center of my pie is still a little jiggly after 50mins in the oven. Any tips?

      @Em it should be about the same level of jiggle as a pumpkin pie, which can shake slightly but not move in waves. Depending on the temperature of your oven (they are all a little different) you might need a little more time in the oven.
