Description

Featuring a flaky plant-based crust and a delicate, naturally set cream filling, it is an easy-to-make, versatile pie perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Pie Crust

  • 1 plant-based pie crust (store-bought or homemade)

Cream Filling

  • 1 1/2 cups plant-based cream
  • 1/2 cup natural sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons natural gelling agent
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (natural)

Fruit and Garnish

  • 2 cups fresh raspberries
  • Extra fresh raspberries for garnish
  • Toasted sliced almonds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pie Crust: Begin with your favorite plant-based pie crust, either store-bought or homemade. Press it gently into your pie dish to create an even, smooth base. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to help the crust hold its shape during baking.
  2. Blind Bake the Crust: Place parchment paper inside the crust and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes until the edges are slightly golden. Remove the weights and bake another 5 minutes to firm the bottom. This ensures the crust stays crisp and prevents sogginess from the filling.
  3. Make the Cream Filling: In a saucepan, combine the plant-based cream, natural sugar, vanilla extract (natural), and natural gelling agent. Heat gently while stirring constantly until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency. Remove from heat and stir in fresh lemon juice (natural) for brightness.
  4. Assemble the Pie: Pour a thin layer of the cream filling into the cooled crust. Sprinkle a generous layer of fresh raspberries over the cream. Carefully pour the remaining filling on top, smoothing it out to cover the berries evenly. Refrigerate the pie for several hours to allow the filling to set and flavors to meld.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, decorate the pie with extra fresh raspberries or a sprinkle of toasted sliced almonds for crunch. Slice carefully with a sharp knife to preserve the beautiful layers and creamy texture inside.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for smooth blending and better texture.
  • Do not overmix the filling; stir just until thickened to keep it light and velvety.
  • Chill the pie thoroughly to allow the filling to set and develop rich flavor.
  • Choose ripe, fresh raspberries to maximize juiciness and natural sweetness.
  • Blind bake the crust with weights to prevent shrinking and sogginess for a perfect base.
