Crabby Raspberry Chiffon Pie Recipe

A refreshing, light dessert for a summer day; this recipe is quick and easy. Strawberries may easily be substituted for the raspberries, and the recipe can be made more figure friendly by using light Cool Whip and sugar free Jell-O (use ½ of a 3 oz pkg rather than 3 T).

Ingredients

  • 1 Keebler Ready Crust, Graham, 2 Extra Servings Pie Crust (it's just a deep graham cracker pie crust)
  • 1 1/2 bags frozen raspberries (12 oz per bag)
  • 3 T Sure-Jell (it's located by the Jello in the baking isle)
  • 1 1/2 c white granulated sugar
  • 1 large container fresh raspberries
  • 3 T berry flavored (raspberry or strawberry) Jell-O
  • 3 T hot, hot, hot water
  • 4 oz cream cheese (softened at room temperature)
  • 1 c heavy cream
  • 1 container Cool Whip (12 oz)

Directions

In a medium saucepan, cook frozen berries (stirring occasionally) over medium high heat until the berries begin to turn into a juice. 4 minutes.

Stir in Sure-Jell and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Stir in sugar and salt and bring back to a full boil. Cook for 2 more minutes, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens.

Pour the mixture into a fine mesh strainer and allow to drain into a medium bowl. To speed up the process, push the mixture through the strainer with the back of a spoon. The seeds will remain in the strainer.

(if a few slip through, no big deal)

Transfer 1/3 c of the raspberry mixture into a small bowl and set aside.

Gently fold the fresh raspberries into the rest of the raspberry puree. Spread mixture evenly over the bottom of the pie crust. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, dissolve Jell-O into hot water. Add cream cheese and 1/3 c raspberry puree, mix on high for 2 minutes, or until smooth. Mix in heavy cream, and continue to mix on high speed until mixture is fluffy (similar to a meringue). This will take another 3-4 minutes.

Spread mixture over fruit filling. Cover. Chill for at least 3 hours. Top with Cool Whip before serving.
