Lemon Raspberry Pie Recipe
A particular favorite are raspberries.
They’re naturally sweet and tart — just the perfect combination if you ask me.
I’m bringing you a wonderful lemon raspberry pie recipe courtesy of Pillsbury.
Ingredients:
Crust
- 1 Pillsbury refrigerated pie crust (from 14.1-ounce box), softened as directed on box (because a lot of us don’t have time to make a crust from scratch and still want a great tasting crust)
- 1 teaspoon flour
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped pecans
Filling
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons margarine or butter
- 1 egg yolk, beaten
- 1/4 to 1/3 cup lemon juice
Topping
- 2 3-ounce packages cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
- 1 8-ounce carton frozen whipped topping, thawed
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 3 cups fresh raspberries or frozen raspberries without syrup, thawed, dried on paper towels
- Mint sprigs, if desired

Step 1: Heat oven to 450 degrees F.
Step 2: Prepare crust according to package directions for unfilled one-crust pie using 9-inch pie pan.
Step 3: Press pecans into bottom of pie crust-lined pan. Generously prick crust with fork.
Step 4: Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool completely.
Step 5: In small saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch; blend well.
Step 6: Stir in water, margarine and egg yolk.
Step 7: Cook over medium heat until mixture boils and thickens, stirring constantly. Boil 1 minute. Remove from heat.
Step 8: Stir in lemon juice. Pour into cooled crust. Refrigerate 1 hour.
Step 9: In small bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar and lemon extract until smooth.
Step 10: Beat in whipped topping at low speed until well blended.
Step 11: Add milk; mix until smooth and of spreading consistency.
Step 12: Spread thin layer of topping mixture around edge of crust.
Step 13: Reserve 4 raspberries for garnish. Arrange remaining raspberries over top of filling.
