Why make a pie? Well the first reason is obvious so I will tell you the second one. My brother and I have had a debate for a while of Raspberry Pi vs. Raspberry Pie. So what better way to settle it than a run off on Instructables! Here's my pie, its up to him to enter one as good!

Supplies

1- 9” pie crust
Assortment of measuring cups & spoons
Creamy Satin Filling
Sugar
Cornstarch
Salt
Milk
Egg
Vanilla
Pint raspberry pie filling
Cool whip
Raspberry Danish dessert mix
Cake decorating bag with star tip
Straw

Step 1: The Crust

Bake 9” pie crust according to package directions. Allow to cool.

Step 2: Prepare Creamy Satin Filling

Combine:

½ cup sugar

3 T cornstarch

½ tsp salt

Stir together in a 4-qt. saucepan. Gradually add:

2 c. milk

Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture is very thick and bubbly. Measure 1 cup of mixture into a separate bowl and to this small portion add:

1 beaten egg

Beat together very well and return to remaining hot mixture. Cook until bubbling again.

Allow to cool.

NOTE: IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ADD THE EGG TO ONLY A SMALL PORTION OF HOT MIXTURE. THEN ADD TO REMAINING HOT MIXTURE.

Step 3: Complete Creamy Satin Filling

Beat satin mixture until smooth.

Add in:

1 c. cool whip

1 tsp. vanilla

Step 4: Adding the Creamy Satin Filling

Pour cooled creamy satin filling into prepared pie crust.

Step 5: Raspberry Time

Using a teaspoon, spoon small portions of raspberry pie filling onto the pie.

Spread the pie filling over entire pie, being careful not to mix the pie filling into the satin filling.

Step 6: Cool Whip

Spread cool whip over pie.

Step 7: Pi Time (Optional)

Using a straw, form the shape of the mathematical pi into the cool whip.

Prepare Danish dessert mix according to package instructions. Pour Danish dessert into cake decorating bag with a star tip. Fill in the pi shaped “trench” formed by the star.

Add any additional adornment.
