Ingredients

Scale

Pie Crust

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free baking blend)
  • 1/2 cup plant-based butter, chilled and cubed
  • Pinch of salt

Plant-Based Cream Filling

  • 1 cup plant-based cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup plant-based milk (almond, oat, or coconut)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (natural) or agave nectar (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Topping

  • 2 cups fresh raspberries
  • Extra fresh raspberries for garnish (optional)
  • Powdered sugar (natural), for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Mix plant-based butter and flour with a pinch of salt until the mixture becomes crumbly. Press evenly into a pie dish covering the bottom and sides. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes or until golden and fragrant. Remove and cool completely.
  2. Make the plant-based cream filling: In a blender or mixing bowl, combine plant-based cream cheese, plant-based milk, maple syrup or agave nectar, fresh lemon juice, vanilla extract, and natural gelling agent. Blend until smooth and thickened to achieve a silky texture.
  3. Assemble the pie: Pour the cream filling over the cooled crust and smooth the surface with a spatula. Evenly arrange fresh raspberries on top, pressing gently to secure them without sinking.
  4. Chill and set: Refrigerate the assembled pie for at least 4 hours, or until the cream filling is firm to the touch and the flavors meld.
  5. Serve and enjoy: Garnish with additional fresh raspberries or lightly dust with natural powdered sugar before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth, lump-free filling.
  • Freeze the crust after shaping for 10 minutes before baking to prevent shrinking.
  • For an ultra-smooth texture, strain fresh raspberries to remove seeds if preferred.
  • Chilling is essential for the filling to set perfectly for neat slices.
  • Use fresh, ripe raspberries for the best natural sweetness and tartness.
