I tried this pie at a restaurant years ago and fell in love with it. I came up with my own version and recipe.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This creamy raspberry pie is quick and easy. We're big fans of raspberry, so our taste buds were excited with each bite. The bottom layer is a thick vanilla custard and fantastic on its own. The raspberry layer adds a nice punch of raspberry flavor. Cool Whip is the perfect light topping that brings the whole pie together. Add some fresh raspberries and it brings a plain raspberry cream pie to a dessert fit for a fancy occasion. A sweet summer pie!

How To Make raspberry cream pie

Test Kitchen Tips
We did strain the seeds from the raspberry filling and poured the custard into a bowl to cool instead of leaving it in the pan. A deep-dish pie crust would work for this recipe, too.
  • Pouring milk into the custard.
    1
    In a saucepan, combine the sugar, flour, and salt; gradually stir in the milk. Cook over medium-high heat and stir until bubbly. Cook and stir for 2 more minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in a moderate amount of the hot mixture into the yolks. Immediately place hot mixture back on the stove and cook another 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Adding butter and vanilla extract to the custard.
    2
    Remove from the heat. Add the butter and vanilla.
  • Saran Wrap on top of a bowl of custard.
    3
    Place plastic wrap or wax paper directly onto the mixture until cooled.
  • Custard poured into pre-baked pie crust.
    4
    Pour into the pie shell.
  • Raspberry filling spread over the custard.
    5
    Spread the raspberry filling over the vanilla filling.
  • Cool Whip and raspberries on top of the Raspberry Cream Pie.
    6
    Top with Cool Whip and refrigerate.
