ingredients

2 baked 9-inch pie crusts

Raspberry Filling

1 cup water
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup water
1/4 teaspoon lemon juice
1 box (3 ounce size) raspberry gelatin powder
3 cups fresh raspberries

Vanilla Filling

3 cups milk, scalded
1/2 cup cornstarch
1 1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 egg yolks, beaten
1 cup milk

directions

Raspberry Filling: Heat the 1 cup water and sugar in a large saucepan until the sugar is dissolved.

Combine the cornstarch, salt, 1/4 cup water, and lemon juice until smooth. Add to the saucepan with the sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook, stirring, until it is clear.

Add the raspberry jello and stir to dissolve. Stir in the fresh raspberries and remove from heat. Let cool to room temperature.

Vanilla Filling: Place the 3 cups of milk in a large saucepan and heat to just below the boiling temperature (small bubbles should appear around the edges of the saucepan but the mixture should not be boiling).

Combine the cornstarch, sugar, salt, vanilla, beaten egg yolks, and remaining milk until smooth. Slowly whisk into the scalded milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.

To assemble the pies: Pour two cups of the vanilla filling into the bottom of each pie shell. Top with 2 cups of the raspberry filling.

Chill until both fillings are set. Serve topped with whipped cream or ice cream.

  1. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    This has become one of our family's favorite desserts!

  2. shannon REVIEW:

    I thought it tasted good. I was seeking a recipe that was authentic because I had real Amish raspberry cream pie in Shipshewana, IN. I am not so sure the Amish people use Jell-O. ???

  3. glalum REVIEW:

    My sister and I made this for a cousins get together. Rave reviews!

  4. KatieBug431 REVIEW:

    Good easy recipie, I used the raspberry filling in a layer cake and it was a big hit. I would use it again. Also frozen raspberries worked perfect, and people loved that their were whole raspberries in the filling. :-)

  5. christine REVIEW:

    This was so good! It was easier than I thought! I made my own pie crust and usually have all of the ingredients- except the fresh raspberries- on hand. I ate it when the pudding was still a little warm, with vanilla bean ice cream on the side...sooo good! This will be my must have dish whenever I pick raspberries!
