No Bake Raspberry Pie – a simple, refreshing and absolutely delicious summer dessert!
Alright, if there are two things I absolutely LOVE about summer, it is drinking iced cold brew lattes (duh) and raspberries. They are my Dad’s absolute favorite (I just made him a raspberry pie for his birthday ? ), my girls seriously inhale them and I could eat them by the pint all by my lonesome. There is just something about when you get that perfect berry that is ripe, not too firm and not too mushy and (of course) perfectly red. That flavor – it just explodes.
Okay, quick note about the crust….. I used a springform pan – if you don’t have one DON’T FREAK OUT! You can try the same crust in a regular pie crust OR you can literally go buy a pre-made crust OR you can use any go-to pie crust you have in back pocket. That is kind of the beauty of this recipe. The pie filling is so easy and so versatile that will taste good in any crust.
