Ingredients
flour
1 1/4 cups (all-purpose)
confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons (fine powdered sugar)
cold butter
1/2 cup (cut into small cubes)
sugar
1 cup (granulated)
cornstarch
5 tablespoons (divided)
cold water
1 1/2 cups (chilled)
corn syrup
3 tablespoons (light or dark)
strawberry gelatin
1/4 cup (powdered)
vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon (pure)
fresh raspberries
1 quart (washed and drained)
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and confectioners sugar. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3
Press the crumbly mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate, ensuring an even layer.
4
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Once done, remove from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack.
5
While the crust is cooling, prepare the filling. In a saucepan over medium heat, mix together the sugar and cornstarch.
6
Gradually stir in the cold water and corn syrup until the mixture is smooth, then bring it to a boil, cooking and stirring for about 2 minutes until thickened.
7
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the strawberry gelatin and vanilla extract until the gelatin is fully dissolved. Allow this mixture to cool to room temperature, approximately 30 minutes.
8
Once cooled, carefully fold in the fresh raspberries, gently stirring to coat them in the filling.
9
Pour the raspberry mixture into the cooled crust, spreading it evenly.
10
Refrigerate the pie for at least 3 hours, or until set, before slicing and serving.
