Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 plant-based pie crust mix
Filling
- 1 cup plant-based cream cheese
- 1 cup plant-based heavy cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (natural)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Topping
- 2 cups fresh raspberries
Instructions
- Prepare the Pie Crust: Roll out the plant-based pie crust mix on a lightly floured surface. Gently press the dough into your pie pan and trim any excess edges. Bake at 350°F (175°C) until golden, then set aside to cool completely to create a crisp base for the filling.
- Make the Cream Filling: Whip the plant-based heavy cream to soft peaks in a chilled bowl. In a separate bowl, combine plant-based cream cheese, powdered sugar (natural), and vanilla extract (natural). Fold the whipped cream gently into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and light. Carefully mix in the natural gelling agent to help the filling set perfectly.
- Assemble the Pie: Pour the cream filling into the cooled pie crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Evenly arrange fresh raspberries over the filling, pressing them lightly so they nestle into the cream for a balanced burst of flavor in every bite.
- Chill and Set: Refrigerate the assembled pie for at least 4 hours or until fully set. This allows the filling to firm up and the flavors to meld for an unforgettable dessert experience.
Notes
- Chill bowls and beaters before whipping for the best cream consistency.
- Use ripe, firm raspberries to avoid soggy filling and maximize flavor.
- Fold ingredients gently to maintain a light, airy filling texture.
- Blind bake the crust with pie weights to prevent bubbles and ensure a crisp crust.
- Adjust sweetness by tasting filling before assembling and modify powdered sugar or add grape juice as preferred.
