Instructions

Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy, free of lumps.
Whip the Heavy Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream together with granulated sugar until stiff peaks form, indicating it is firm enough to hold shape.
Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully blended, taking care not to deflate the whipped cream.
Fill the Pie Crust: Spoon the creamy filling into the cooled pre-baked pie crust and smooth the top evenly with a spatula.
Arrange Raspberries: Evenly place fresh raspberries on top of the filling, arranging them to cover the surface nicely.
Optional Glaze: If desired, brush the raspberries gently with warmed and strained raspberry jam to give the pie a glossy, appealing finish.
Chill the Pie: Refrigerate the pie for at least 3 hours or until the filling is set and firm.
Serve: Garnish with additional raspberries or whipped cream just before serving for a beautiful presentation.

Notes

For extra sweetness and a crunchy base, use a graham cracker crust instead of a traditional pie crust.
Frozen raspberries can be substituted but ensure they are fully thawed and drained to avoid excess moisture in the pie.
