Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1 (7 ounces/198 grams) jar marshmallow creme
- 1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries (or frozen, thawed)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
Dairy and Cream Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Crust and Garnish:
- 1 pre-made graham cracker crust (or homemade if preferred)
- Fresh raspberries for garnish
- Whipped cream for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Transform fresh raspberries into a luscious syrup by gently heating them with granulated sugar in a saucepan, stirring until they break down and release their vibrant juices, creating a glossy, concentrated fruit essence.
- Transfer the warm raspberry syrup to a cooling zone, allowing its temperature to drop and intensify its rich, deep flavor profile.
- Whisk softened cream cheese and marshmallow creme in a spacious mixing vessel until the texture becomes velvety smooth and completely homogeneous.
- Incorporate the cooled raspberry syrup into the cream cheese mixture, blending meticulously to ensure a uniform, blush-colored composition.
- In a separate pristine bowl, vigorously whip heavy cream until it develops sturdy, elegant peaks that maintain their structural integrity.
- Delicately fold the whipped cream into the raspberry-cream cheese blend, using gentle circular motions to preserve the light, airy texture.
- Pour the luxurious filling into a pre-prepared graham cracker crust, using a silicone spatula to create an immaculate, level surface.
- Carefully transfer the assembled pie to the refrigerator, allowing it to set and develop its distinctive creamy consistency for a minimum of four hours or preferably overnight.
- Prior to serving, embellish the pie with pristine fresh raspberries and optional dollops of whipped cream for an elegant, Instagram-worthy presentation.
Notes
- Control raspberry sweetness by adjusting sugar amount, tasting syrup before mixing to ensure balanced flavor profile.
- Ensure cream cheese is fully softened at room temperature for smoother, lump-free filling consistency.
- Fold whipped cream gently to maintain light, airy texture and prevent deflating the mixture.
- Refrigerate pie at least 4 hours to allow proper setting and develop deeper raspberry flavor integration.
