Low-Sugar Raspberry Cream Pie
Raspberry Cream Pie Ingredients:
Pie Crust Ingredients-
- 2.5 cups fine almond flour
- 15 drops of liquid stevia or 1 tbsp of granulated sugar
- 1/8 cup coconut oil
- 1/8 cup melted butter
- 1 egg
Raspberry Cream Pie Filling-
- One package of cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 tsp of liquid stevia drops (or 2/3 cup of powdered sugar)
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1.5 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries for the raspberry filling
- plus additional 1 cup fresh raspberries for garnish (if desired)
Recipe Notes:
If you don’t want to make your own crust, you can use a pre-made graham cracker crust or tart crust. In this way, there will be no baking whatsoever. The filling does not require baking either way.
I like using Stevia because it is natural plant-based sweetener. This sugar substitute has zero calories and still taste sweet. It is great for those on a Keto diet. However, if you prefer, good old fashioned sugar, I am down with that too!
How To Make Raspberry Cream Pie
- As always, preheat your oven! 350 degrees F will do for this quick recipe.
- You’re going to want to start from the bottom and prepare your crust first so you have time to bake it while you mix together the cream cheese filling.
- Mix the pie crust ingredients together in a bowl until the almond flour is thoroughly coated and sticks together nicely.
- Then, press firmly into the bottom of one well-greased 9-inch pie dish or into 4 individual size pie pans.
- Slide that into the oven for 8-10 minutes.
- Just place the crust to the side and let it cool once the 8-10 minutes are up.
- For the filling of this ravishing raspberry treat, place the softened cream cheese in a large bowl and, using an electric hand mixer (or your valentines’ strong arms), beat until light and fluffy.
- Once you have a nice bowl of fluffy cream cheese, tell your other half to keep on mixing while you pour in the vanilla extract, stevia and lemon juice.
- Mix thoroughly and set aside.
- Grab a medium bowl and whip that heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks.
- Have your partner slowly spoon the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture while you stir gently.
- Next, mix in your whole raspberries. Or if you prefer a smooth consistency to chunks of berries, you can put them in the food processor first to create a puree.
- Pour into your crust. Garnish with fresh berries if you so desire and I always do!
- Cover the raspberry pie with plastic wrap and pop it in the refrigerator for 4 hours.
Now, all you have to do is wait for this easy raspberry cream pie to be ready. Time for a romantic date with your Valentine while you’re waiting for your dessert to set!
