Equipment

  • 9-inch pie dish
  • Mixing bowls
  • electric mixer or hand whisk
  • measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • Rubber spatula
  • saucepan or heatproof bowl
  • Whisk
  • plastic wrap
  • offset spatula (optional)
  • piping bag or zip-top bag (optional)

Ingredients

Graham Cracker Crust

  • 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.
