Got my brother to turn Grandma Zada's notes into a more polished recipe (and let Chat GPT punch up the language a tad )
Creamy Vanilla Raspberry Pie
Filling:
Using a hand mixer, combine the following ingredients until smooth and well-blended:
- 3.4 oz box of instant vanilla pudding
- 1 cup sour cream
- Slightly less than one cup milk
Raspberry Topping:
In a saucepan, simmer the following ingredients until the mixture thickens:
- 12 oz bag of frozen raspberries
- 1 tbsp agave syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (adjust to taste - you want the topping to be pretty tangy/sour to balance the sweetness of the vanilla filling.)
- 1.25 tbsp cornstarch
Assembly:
- Prepare a pie crust of your choice (handmade flour crust works best).
- Fill the crust with the creamy vanilla filling.
- Add a generous ~1/4-inch layer of the raspberry topping over the filling.
- Refrigerate the pie until it sets.
Enjoy this delightful Creamy Vanilla Raspberry Pie as a perfect combination of velvety vanilla goodness and the bright, tangy flavor of raspberries.
