Hi Bold Bakers! My favorite way to celebrate Valentine’s Day is obviously to make a gorgeous sweet treat! Sharing something beautiful and homemade is the nicest gesture I can think of. This year I decided to go for something even Bigger and Bolder than the typical chocolate truffles and heart shaped sweets. So, I created a recipe for a super sophisticated No-Bake White Chocolate and Raspberry Pie. Already have an account? The flavors of white chocolate and raspberry are so complimentary that the combination alone really does all the work. Made with just a handful of ingredients, my White Chocolate and Raspberry Pie recipe is simple, yet impressive, and sure to show that special someone how much you care.
How to Make a Graham Cracker Crust for my No-Bake White Chocolate Raspberry Pie
Every good pie starts with the crust. With that in mind, the no-bake white chocolate and raspberry filling needs an equally amazing no-bake crust. My Graham Cracker Crust recipe is the perfect ratio of Graham Cracker crumbs and rich butter. I love making this crust as it comes together in minutes in one bowl and requires no baking, just a quick trip to the fridge to set. After mixing the butter and Grahams I simply transfer the mix to my lined GoodCook 9 Inch Cake Pan and press it down into one even layer. As the proud ambassador for GoodCook, I can tell you this pan will make sure you’re fully equipped to make my White Chocolate Raspberry Pie at the perfect thickness with ease. I chose to use a cake pan for this recipe instead of a pie shell to make this pie extra thick and Bold! By the time my white chocolate filling is done the crust is perfectly set.
What is White Chocolate?
You might not know, but white chocolate isn’t actually chocolate! Hear me out… it’s the cocoa butter removed from the cocoa bean that is then flavored and sweetened. White chocolate is extremely rich and creamy which acts as the perfect compliment to the tart fresh berries and the crunchy crust. I not only love the flavor of my White Chocolate Raspberry Pie recipe, but I love the look because it’s perfect for celebrating Valentine’s Day! You want to be sure to use a good quality bar of white chocolate here and not chips, as chips often have stabilizers that can prevent them from breaking down and completely melting.
What if I don’t like raspberries?
The balance of fresh fruit and creamy white chocolate is what really pulls the flavor of this pie together. If you don’t like raspberries and prefer strawberries, blueberries, or blackberries, you can use those instead. Although you can leave the fruit out altogether, I would not suggest it as the white chocolate is so rich it really comes alive when offset with a fresh flavor.
