No Bake Raspberry Pie – a simple, refreshing and absolutely delicious summer dessert!
This blog post is sponsored by Driscoll’s and TheFeedFeed – thanks for supporting the brands that support me. All opinions are my own.
Oh man, you guys! I am SUPER pumped to be sharing this new, easy summer recipe, in partnership with Driscoll’s and TheFeedFeed, with you! This No-Bake Raspberry Pie is going to knock your socks off – seriously. If you are looking for a light and easy summer recipe to try – look no further.
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.
So, when I learned that Driscoll’s (the go-to for your perfect berries) named Minneapolis-St. Paul as the raspberry consumption capital of the world….. it actually made perfect sense to me ? I think my own family probably is responsible for getting us to #1, but I don’t have concrete proof of it yet. We eat SO MANY raspberries, so it is that much more important to me that the raspberries I eat are REAL! I am all about REAL FOOD. Which is one of the reasons I was so excited to partner with Driscoll’s in particular. I have been buying their raspberries…. well, for forever. That classic packaging invokes so many wonderful memories from all different times in my life (like when I used to put a raspberry on each finger and eat them off one at a time…. okay I still do that..). And it is so comforting to know that they do not genetically modify their raspberries AT ALL. As they say, they simply follow the sun to ensure they can continue to provide high-quality raspberries all year round (thank goodness!). I love companies that take pride in their products and Driscoll’s has proven that to me over that past several decades.
Aaaaand, you are going to need those perfect Driscoll’s raspberries for this recipe – especially if you want to replicate that awesome raspberry topping!!! (yes, you guys can totally rock it!)
Lastly, did you know that Driscoll’s is currently hosting a #BerryTogether sweepstakes!?! You guys could win an absolutely awesome 4-night stay at Madden’s on Gull Lake (I have been there before and can tell you it is amazing!). And the first four prize winners win Driscoll’s berries for a year!!! A YEAR!!!! All you have to do is visit www.berrytogether.com to enter for a chance to win!!! (Sweepstakes open until August 31)
Now for this recipe…… and some of my favorite photos ?
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.
As always, I went over-board on the pictures …. there were just too many I wanted to share with you!
