Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups (150g) graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 ounces (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup (90g) powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup (30g) pink lemonade mix
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 1 cup (125g) frozen raspberries, thawed
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Crush graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin. Combine with melted butter and mix until evenly moistened. Press firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Chill in the fridge for about 10 minutes.
  2. Make the raspberry swirl: Mash thawed raspberries with a fork until mostly smooth but still a bit chunky. Optionally strain seeds for a smoother texture. Set aside.
  3. Whip the cream: Beat chilled heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes. Avoid overwhipping.
  4. Prepare the filling: Beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar, pink lemonade mix, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Combine filling and whipped cream: Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula to keep it light and fluffy.
  6. Assemble the pie: Pour half the filling into the crust. Drop spoonfuls of raspberry puree over the filling, then add the remaining filling on top. Swirl gently with a butter knife or skewer to create a marbled effect.
  7. Chill the pie: Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to set the filling and meld flavors.
  8. Serve: Slice with a sharp knife (wiping clean between cuts) and enjoy chilled. Garnish with fresh raspberries or lemon zest if desired.

Notes

Chill the crust before adding filling to prevent sogginess. Use very cold cream and chilled bowl for whipping cream. Fold whipped cream gently to keep filling light. Chill pie at least 4 hours or overnight for best results. Dip knife in hot water and wipe clean between slices for neat cuts.
