Mini Raspberry Tarts? Yes please! Have you ever had a mini raspberry tart? For some reason, raspberry desserts are hard to come by. Not on my blog! Raspberry desserts in abundance please! These mini raspberry tarts are light, fluffy, delicious, and EASY!

Mini Raspberry Tarts

Name: Kneaders Raspberry Cream Cheese Pie
Prep time: 60 min
Cook time: 10 min
Total time: 70 min
Yield: 1 pie
Ingredients: 1 c. flour; 1/2 tsp salt; 1/3 c. shortening; 2-3 TB cold water; 16 oz cream cheese; 1 1/3 c. powdered sugar; 2 tsp vanilla; 2 c. whipped cream; 12 oz raspberries; 1/4 tsp orange zest; 1/2 C sugar; 1/4 C lemon juice; 1/4 C water

I’m a sucker for tarts and raspberries. I love the Key Lime and Berry tarts from Kneaders, but honestly, I’ve never had many other kinds. Thus, the mini raspberry tart had to be born. I had been DYING to make one so, of course, I scoured Pinterest to find a recipe. Alas, I came up with nothing substantial, so I was disappointed and on my own. Why are raspberry desserts so hard to come by?

This lemon raspberry tiramisu puts a spin on a classic Italian dessert – and opens up a whole new world of possibilities for the chocolate and coffee haters! Ladies and gents, I give you the best lemon raspberry tiramisu in the entire world.

I have always LOVED tiramisu. The coffee, the cocoa, the creaminess. YUM. It has always baffled me that others don’t appreciate coffee/chocolate. For all of you out there, this raspberry lemon tiramisu is for you. NO coffee. NO chocolate. It’s my husband’s dream dessert actually.

Kneaders Raspberry Cream Cheese Pie Copycat

January 10, 2017 By Kaylynn Zoe 5 Comments

This copycat Kneaders raspberry Cream cheese pie is to DIE for. I bought a slice and knew I had to recreate it. Raspberries are my favorites – so a Raspberry Cream pie is an obvious choice! Have you ever had a Kneaders raspberry cream cheese pie??

In case you haven’t been around for very long, raspberries are my FAVORITE fruit. I seldom do fruit things that venture outside of raspberry, because… why bother? (Raspberry is my fav, but my lemon bars are the best!) THEN – I found it. Kneaders raspberry cream cheese pie!! It is SO SO GOOD and I fell. HARD. It is SO good that I caved and bought a Kneaders raspberry cream cheese pie to bring to Thanksgiving dinner – shocker, right?

Since then, it has been my quest to recreate this delicious pie to have in my recipe arsenal.

Kneaders Raspberry Cream Cheese Pie

Imagine my dismay when I went to try to re-create said Kneaders raspberry cream cheese pie and there was NOTHING. Nothing on Google, nothing on Pinterest, nothing that looked even close to Kneaders Raspberry Cream cheese pie.

In my opinion, raspberries are the most underrated of all the things. We are seriously lacking in no bake raspberry pie recipes as well as raspberry cream cheese desserts – those darn strawberries take all the recipes. But I digress….

This simply wouldn’t do. There was no way I could be buying a Kneaders Raspberry Cream Cheese pie every time the craving hit! Thus, the project began. The trickiest part was the raspberry topping. I tried several things – one was too sweet and another was too runny. Finally, I tried Ashlee Marie’s fabulous berry coulis and used ONLY raspberries, not a mixture of berries like her recipe suggests. VOILA! There it was. PERFECT.

So make your pie crust – any will do!

No Bake Raspberry Pie

Add my filling. Top with Ashlee’s berry coulis, (made with only raspberries) and serve with additional whipped cream. No bake raspberry pie mission – accomplished! Pretty simple!

I will say, this Kneaders raspberry cream cheese pie recipe might be one of my favorite pies ever. If my chocolate mousse pie and this raspberry cream pie could have an arm wrestle, it’d be a toss up …. depending on the day.

I hope you enjoy this Kneaders raspberry cream cheese pie as much as I did – as you can see from my pictures there’s ONE piece to photograph because it was gone THAT FAST! Mama had zero self control! Be sure to head to Ashlee Marie’s page to find the full instructions on the raspberry coulis.

Long story: So for PI day, I was looking around for an AMAZING raspberry cream pie. I mean, I SUPPOSE I could have made a quick crust and thrown some canned raspberries in, but I honestly couldn’t bring myself to do it. I have a reputation to uphold. Joking, but a little serious also.

So I saw THIS raspberry cream pie picture ALL OVER PINTEREST. It looks incredible. Unfortunately, it’s one of those pictures that leads you to dead ends, nowhere, or foreign websites.

But my heart was SET on a raspberry cream pie.

So I scoured the internet for a decent raspberry cream pie and settled on this one from Taste of Home – because it looks SOOOO pretty. That picture? A+ my friends.

I made it for PI day (you can see the successful picture HERE – it’s the bottom right). It was SO delicious, and enjoyed by all, that I figured I should write it down to share with you lovelies.

Ready. Set. FAIL. Big time.

Apparently I was distracted as I was baking this up. Wait…what? ME?! Distracted??? Yeah… my bad. When I took it out to photograph it, something was OFF… I tasted it…BLECH. Something was definitely wrong. Turns out I forgot to add the whipped cream to the filling, so I had this weird cream cheese-y filling ruining my entire pie.

Are you still with me? Here’s where “genius” strikes. I’ll just ADD THE WHIPPED CREAM NOW! It won’t look pretty, but at least I won’t have wasted all those yummy fresh raspberries…right?

I was not prepared for how awful it would look. However, assuming your eyes were closed, it did taste pretty amazing.

What do you think? Would YOU pin THIS Raspberry Cream Pie?!
