Step by Step Method

Step 1

The raspberries should be fully thawed. Drain the raspberries into a measuring cup and if necessary add water to measure 1/2 cup juice.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, combine cornstarch and 1 tablespoon sugar, slowly stirring in juice. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until thick and clear (it will happen). Remove from heat and add berries.

Step 3

Combine 1/2 cup sugar, flour, cornstarch and salt in a saucepan. Mix with wooden spoon or a heat proof spatula. Blend in the light cream gradually, then add egg yolks. Add butter. Cook until thick and smooth, stirring constantly and scraping down the sides of the pan frequently. Remove from heat. Add vanilla. Stir until smooth and blended, scraping down sides of pan well. Pour hot filling into a pre-baked pie shell.

Step 4

Beat egg whites at high speed until frothy, then add 3 or 4 tablespoons of sugar (or to your taste) gradually while beating. Beat at highest speed until very stiff peaks form. Fold thickened fruit into the egg whites. Using a spatula, spread evenly over the hot cream filling (just as you would a lemon meringue pie) sealing to the crust on all sides.

Step 5

Bake at 350°F degrees for about 25 minutes or until the center appears to be set when wiggled and before the eggs and the fruit start to turn a light brown. Cool before serving.

Fresh fruit pies are one of our favorite desserts so this appealed to me. I made it for my husband who loves raspberries. I used fresh raspberries and it came out creamy and deliciously fruity and just sweet enough. We love it and I will make it again very soon!
