Raspberry Ripple Pie


Raspberry ripple pie is one of our all-time favorite summer desserts. This recipe was clipped from a farm publication decades ago, at a time when we were growing commercial raspberries.  I make several at a time at the beginning of the summer...a ready dessert in the freezer. The better the ice-cream, the more special the dessert!


  • Ice-cream - 2 litres (quarts) premium vanilla ice cream, slightly softened

Crust:
  • 1 ¼ cups Oreo cookie crumbs
  • ¼ cup butter, melted
  1. Combine crumbs with melted butter. 
  2. Press firmly into the base of a 9 or 10-inch springform pan.
Filling:
  • 1 ½ cups crushed raspberries
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1 ½ tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 ½ tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  1. Combine raspberries, sugar and three tablespoons of water.
  2. Blend cornstarch with 1 ½ tablespoon water until smooth; stir into berry mixture.
  3. Cook until mixture thickens and boils (I do this in the microwave, stirring regularly).
  4. Add lemon juice.
  5. Allow to cool.
Method:
  1. Spoon about 1/3 of the ice-cream over the crumb crust…pressing down somewhat.
  2. Then spoon about half the berry sauce over the ice-cream.
  3. Repeat…ending with ice-cream on top.
  4. Carefully spread ice-cream over the filling with spatula or knife.
  5. Cover and freeze until hard.
  6. Allow to soften for about 15 minutes before serving.
  7. Cut in wedges and serve with whipped cream and berry sauce (below) and garnish with fresh raspberries.
Berry Sauce:
  1. Puree about 2 cups of raspberries in blender…add a little sugar.
  2. Stir in whole berries just before serving.

  3. Do you keep the pie in the springform pan in the freezer? This looks fabulous... I'm wondering if it would get freezer burn (if it indeed lasted that long!!) Thanks for a beautiful looking dessert... I've subscribed to your feed and look forward to more tasty treats!

    1. Once frozen, I remove the outer ring of the springform pan and wrap the dessert in heavy foil for longer storage.

  12. Made this for a co-worker's birthday, last week. So yummy. Thanks for sharing. From 11 ladies at work- there was nothing left at the end of the day. Can't go wrong with chocolate, ice cream, raspberries and hot summer days.
