• measuring cups
• Measuring spoons
• Rubber spatula
• saucepan or heatproof bowl

Ingredients

Graham Cracker Crust

• 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted

Blue Raspberry Cream Filling

• 8 oz full-fat cream cheese softened
• ¾ cup powdered sugar
• 1 to 1½ teaspoons blue raspberry extract to taste
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream cold
• 1–2 drops blue food coloring optional

Whipped Topping

• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Make the Crust

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until evenly combined.
• Press firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish.
• Bake for 8–10 minutes, then cool completely.

Make the Filling

• Beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy.
• Add blue raspberry extract and vanilla extract; mix until fully combined.
• In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream to stiff peaks.
• Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and airy.
• Add blue food coloring if desired.

Assemble

• Spoon filling into the cooled crust and smooth the top.
• Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

Whipped Topping

• Whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla to soft-stiff peaks.
• Spread or pipe over the chilled pie before serving.

Notes

• Use blue raspberry extract for clean, accurate flavor; start with a small amount and adjust to taste.
• Full-fat cream cheese provides the best texture and helps the pie hold its shape.
• Whip the cream to stiff peaks before folding to keep the filling light and fluffy.
• Fold gently to avoid deflating the whipped cream.
• Chill the pie for at least 4 hours; overnight chilling gives the cleanest slices.
• Add food coloring sparingly, as a little goes a long way.
• Garnish just before serving for the freshest appearance.
• Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Yes, this pie is ideal for making ahead. Prepare it up to 24 hours in advance and keep it refrigerated until ready to serve.

Does this pie need to be baked?
Only the graham cracker crust is baked briefly. The filling itself is completely no-bake.

How strong is the blue raspberry flavor?
The flavor is adjustable. Start with a smaller amount of blue raspberry extract and add more until it reaches your preferred intensity.

Can I use a store-bought crust?
Absolutely. A premade graham cracker crust works well and saves time.

How do I get clean slices when serving?
Chill the pie thoroughly and wipe your knife clean between cuts for sharp, neat slices.

Can I freeze this pie?
Yes, it freezes well. Freeze uncovered until firm, then wrap tightly. Thaw slightly before slicing for a creamy, icebox-style texture.

What can I use instead of food coloring?
You can skip it entirely. The pie will still taste great, just with a softer, natural tint.

Is this pie overly sweet?
No, the tangy blue raspberry extract balances the sweetness, but you can reduce the powdered sugar slightly if you prefer a less sweet dessert.
