Decadent Chocolate Raspberry Cream Pie
Submitted by: Cindy L.
I love cheesecake, but I've never had much success with the recipes
that I've tried. Then I found this wonderfully creamy pie recipe that
uses cream cheese as its major ingredient. It's actually more delicious
than any cheese- cake I've ever had and it always comes out a success!
Ingredients:
2 (3 oz.) packages of cream cheese, softened
14 oz. can of condensed milk
1 egg
3 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 pie crust (graham or regular)
1 cup raspberries 2 (1 oz.)
squares of semi-sweet chocolate
1/4 cup whipping cream
raspberries for garnish whipped cream for garnish
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
With an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese until fluffy. Gradually
beat in one 14-ounce can of condensed milk until smooth. Add egg, lemon
juice and vanilla extract. Mix well. Arrange 1 cup fresh raspberries
on bottom of pie crust. Pour cream cheese mixture over the fruit. Bake
for 30-35 minutes or until the center is almost set. Cool. In a small
saucepan over low heat, melt squares of chocolate with whipping cream.
Cook, stirring, until thickened and smooth. Remove from heat and spread
mixture evenly over top of cooled pie. Chill in refrigerator. If desired,
garnish with raspberries and additional whipped cream.
