Raspberry Cream Cheese Pie has a taste very similar to cheesecake but is much quicker and easier to make.
It starts off with an Oreo Crust followed by a layer of fresh raspberries and a creamy and rich filling made from cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, and 1 egg.
This is a recipe from one of my favorite cookbooks Bless Your Heart: Saving the World One Covered Dish at a Time
. This book is such a fantastic collection of recipes, all of them easy. Sometimes when I leaf through it, I can’t decide what I want to make because I want to make pretty much everything.
But this Raspberry Cream Cheese Pie really stood out. I’ve only made one other recipe with raspberries and it was high time to make another one.
Chocolate and raspberries pair so well together. Between the oreo crust and the chocolate glaze drizzled on top, this pie has plenty of chocolate to complement the raspberries.
The filling is sweet but also a little tangy from 3 tablespoons of lemon and the raspberries.
Raspberry Cream Cheese Pie is a wonderful combination of flavors and makes a very impressive-looking dessert even though it is a cinch to make. Keeps well for 2-3 days in the refrigerator, making it a good choice for summer entertaining.

Sounds SO good – would strawberries work as well!
I’m loaded with strawberries right now!!!
Oops, but this as a reply by mistake, so I’m going to repost it:
I know this is an old recipe, but it says add vanilla in the filling (in the instructions) but does not have the amount in the ingredients. I’m going to go by taste at this point since I made it all, just haven’t poured it yet, but I figured I’d let you know
Such a decadent and delicious pie! Pies with oreo cookie crusts are my weakness too so this recipe is just everything.
