What You’ll Love About This Recipe

This pie has a meringue crust, so light an delicious. And to add a fun texture, there are crackers and chopped pecans folded into the meringue. It is the perfect compliment to the raspberry cream filling. If you want to make the dessert gluten free, you can leave out the crackers.

• cream of tartar
• vanilla
• granulated sugar
• saltine crackers crushed
• pecans finely chopped
• whipping cream
• granulated sugar

How to Make Raspberry Cream Pie

Make the meringue crust by beating together egg whites and cream of tartar until foamy. Then mix in vanilla. Gradually beat in sugar until it forms stiff peaks.

Then you will fold in the crackers and pecans.

Just spread the meringue mixture into a 9 inch pie plate, pushing it up the sides and along the bottom.

Bake the meringue for 35-40 minutes or until it is light golden. And then let cool.

The filling for the pie is a combo of whipping cream, sugar, vanilla and of course raspberries! All of that gets folded together and then poured into the cool meringue crust.

Let it refrigerate for several hours to set up and then slice yourself a nice big piece.  It is so light you won’t feel like there are any calories! I garnished mine with a little more whip cream and some more raspberries.

Then just dig in.  It is a wonderful choice for Valentine’s Day dessert.
