Raspberry Pie Ingredients

Raspberry Pie raw ingredients that are labeled

Indulge in the burst of summer with this luscious pie. The flaky crust provides the ideal base for the fresh raspberries, creating a sweet-tart balance.

Enhanced by a jello-infused syrup, each bite delivers a harmonious dance of textures and vibrant flavors—a true taste of sun-kissed bliss.

You’ll need:

1 (9-inch) pie crust
1½ cups of sugar
2 tablespoons of cornstarch
1½ cups of water
1 (3-ounce) package of raspberry jello
4 cups of fresh raspberries

PRO TIP:

The sweetness/tartness of this pie can vary depending on the sweet/tart level of your raspberries.

Substitutions And Additions

RASPBERRIES: Add a mixture of other fresh berries along with the sweet raspberries to this yummy pie.

CRUST: You can use either a store-bought or homemade pie crust for this summer-fresh raspberry pie.

How To Make This Raspberry Pie Recipe

Let’s walk through the easy steps to making this delectable pie. It doesn’t take long, and you’ll be ready to dig into a slice in no time.

OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS

When using store-bought pie dough, follow the box directions. Let it come to room temperature for about ten minutes, and gently roll out and center in the 9-inch pie dish. Pierce the bottom and sides with a fork around the crust.

Place a piece of foil gently inside the crust and add pie weights to the foil or use dried beans to weigh down the crust while baking.

Place the pie pan on a baking sheet so that when it is done baking and you remove it from the oven, you are not damaging the fluted edge of the pie.

STEP ONE: Bake the pie crust according to the directions for a single-crust pie. Set aside.

PRO TIP:

Oven temperatures vary and may need to be recalibrated periodically to ensure they are accurate. Make sure to keep a close eye on your pie crust as the suggested bake time approaches.

STEP TWO: Add the sugar and cornstarch to a large saucepan and whisk together just to combine and remove any lumps.

Add the water, and then, over high heat, bring to a boil, stirring constantly.

Be very careful as the mixture bubbles and pops and splatters while boiling; using a large saucepan gives space for the boiling liquid.

STEP THREE: Once the mixture comes to a boil, reduce heat to medium-high and let boil for two to three minutes, stirring constantly, until it thickens and the mixture is translucent (see-through but not totally clear).

Remove from the heat.

STEP FOUR: Add the raspberry jello (dry mix only) to the sugar mixture and whisk together until the jello has all dissolved.

Let the mixture cool for 15 minutes, whisking occasionally to help it cool down.

STEP FIVE: Place the fresh raspberries into the pre-baked pie shell and spread them evenly over the crust.

STEP SIX: Pour the cooled jello mixture over top of the berries. Use a rubber spatula to gently push the berries down into the gel mixture and even out the top.

STEP SEVEN: Chill for at least three hours or overnight before serving.

How To Serve

This delicious pie would be perfect as a summer treat when raspberries are in season.

Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side of the plate and a spoonful of Cool Whip or homemade whipped cream before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I use a homemade pie crust or store-bought?

A store-bought crust would be perfectly fine for this sweet pie, but if you prefer to make your own pie crust, you certainly can. Check out our pie crust recipe for a great option.

Can I freeze this pie?

This amazing pie can be frozen for up to two months as long as you wrap it well with plastic wrap and aluminum foil.

Can I use frozen raspberries?

We would recommend sticking to fresh fruit for this recipe. Frozen raspberries will not give you the plump raspberries you want for this recipe, and the excess moisture may cause a soggy crust.
