This pie is so yummy!!! And very easy to make. I used low-fat cream cheese and low-fat whipped topping (instead of the whipping cream) which made this pie just a tad "healthier" - boy is it good!!!

I used to make this years ago and lost the recipe. I'm so glad to see it posted here. It's one of my all time favorites and will be our dessert tomorrow night.

This dessert was gone before our church fellowship meal began; folks were still looking for a slice. A great, tasty hit!

I made this today for my husbands birthday cake. I eliminated the pecans (due to a nut allergy) and added an additional 15 vanilla wafers. Instead of a pie pan, I used a spring form pan. It came out perfectly. We all enjoyed this immensley. My 14 year old said that she is taking this treat to school on "Pi" day.

This was the best raspberry pie I have ever eaten in my life. I will make it again and again.

Excellent and a nice change from cheese cake.Raspberries are my favourite, but will try with other fruit - probably blueberries next.Pleased to see a recipe with butter and real cream as I don't believe in manufactured products like margarine and packaged/frozen whipped toppings. Will make for a treat and special occasions!

Very good. You don't really need to add the liqueurs. Actually, too, you could use another toppings such as pie filling (to hasten and simplify.)

I have made a similar pie for years. For the crust I use 24 vanilla wafers, crushed, 1/2 c chopped peacan & 2 T melted butter. Press in pie pan & bake 7 minutes. Rest is the same.

I didnt have time for the crust, so I used graham cracker, everything else was wonderful, made the same thing in strawberry. Everyone loved it!

Raspberry cream pie is one my family loves to make and one we use when we have special company coming. It's delicious and going in my recipe box, as we make it whenever we can.

My mom used to make raspberry cream pie but she did it much like banana cream. She put the berries on the bottom. YUMMY

It was fine, but nothing particularly special, especially when considering it's such a high-calorie dessert with the whipped cream. The cream layer is very fluffy and airy, think frozen whipped topping, except not nearly as sweet. It seemed too insubstantial to be paired with a crust. I also had trouble serving this and having the pieces remain intact. I will not be making this again; I’d much rather have a raspberry cream cheese pie.
