A decadent dessert for Valentine’s Day, White Chocolate Raspberry Pie will wow your Valentine with its creamy filling and beautiful topping!
Today I’m going WAY off script. I did NOT find this recipe on Pinterest. *GASP* I was perusing my latest Family Circle magazine and they had a collection of fantastic desserts for Valentine’s Day.
When I saw the words “white chocolate” I was pulled in immediately. This was more of a “from scratch” and involved recipe than I would usually do, but it was worth it, don’t you think? It is so pretty and just in time for Valentine’s Day!
Ingredients needed for White Chocolate Raspberry Pie:
- OREO cookies-if you really don’t want to make your own crust, you can buy a premade chocolate crust, or try making your own Graham Cracker Crust (but use the chocolate graham crackers.)
- butter
- sugar
- cornstarch
- fresh or frozen raspberries-either one works great, so you can make this pie any time of the year
- unflavored gelatin-not “Jello”
- salt
- whole milk
- white chocolate-make sure this is actual white chocolate, and not just white candy melts
- whipped topping-try making your own homemade Cool Whip for a delicious, rich flavor!
Note: You’ll need a fine mesh strainer or some cheesecloth to strain the seeds out of the delicious raspberry topping. I find it easiest to use a fine mesh strainer like this one.
