Raspberry Cream Cheese Pie

Directions

Raspberry Cream Cheese Pie - Chew Nibble Nosh

What do we do when we buy a bunch of raspberries because they’re on sale?  We make pie!  I’ve had this recipe in my back pocket for a while now, and have been meaning to make it, but grabbing some beautiful berries at a beautiful price sealed the deal.  And, the fact that this pie is so easy to throw together made it taste even sweeter.

I started by making an Oreo cookie crust.  I know, right?  Not a bad way to start things off.

I crushed almost an entire package of Oreos into crumbs, and then mixed them with some sugar and melted butter.  Then, that mixture was pressed into my pie plate and baked for just about ten minutes, until the crust was set.  I let the crust cool while I prepped my filling.

The filling was simply a block of cream cheese, a can of sweetened condensed milk, some lemon juice, vanilla, and an egg.

I beat the mixture together until it was nice and smooth, and before I poured it into my crust, I lined the bottom with beautiful, plump raspberries.

I poured the cheese mixture over the berries, and popped the pie back into the oven to bake for thirty minutes.

Once the filling was set, and not jiggly anymore, I took the pie out and let it cool completely before popping it into the refrigerator to cool.

I let the pie chill for around four hours, but you could easily make this up a day ahead of time and let it chill overnight.

Before serving, I made a simple ganache topping of chocolate chips and a bit of heavy cream.  I sliced up the pie, and drizzled each slice with the warm ganache.

Easy peasy, and pretty darn tasty, if I do say so myself.
