Raspberry gelatin powder is a box of raspberry jello minus the water... I hope that helps! Good luck :)

Super duper yummy!! The only thing I would do next time I make it is bake the crust for 7 min. instead of 9 min. The crust stuck to the pan and was hard to get out with the rest of the rasp. filling.Other than that, I luved the combination of flavors in this recipe!

This is my favorite summer pie! I use fresh raspberries from my garden and a store bought shortbread crust. It is much better than a graham cracker crust.

Very good. Everyone liked it at the family BBQ. I used a store bought pie crust to make it even easier.
