Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 200g digestive biscuits (plant-based)
- 75g melted plant-based butter
Filling
- 250g plant-based cream cheese
- 100ml maple syrup (natural)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent
- 200ml plant-based whipped topping
- 150g fresh raspberries
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Crush the digestive biscuits finely and mix them with melted plant-based butter until crumbly. Press this mixture evenly into a pie dish and chill in the refrigerator to set firmly while preparing the filling.
- Make the Cream Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine plant-based cream cheese, maple syrup (natural), vanilla extract (natural), and fresh lemon juice. Whip together until silky smooth, balancing sweetness and tang perfectly.
- Incorporate the Natural Gelling Agent: Sprinkle the natural gelling agent over the cream mixture and fold in gradually, ensuring it dissolves evenly without forming lumps to help the filling hold its shape.
- Fold in Whipped Topping and Raspberries: Gently fold the plant-based whipped topping into the cream mixture for lightness. Carefully fold in fresh raspberries to distribute flavor evenly while keeping the berries intact.
- Assemble and Chill: Pour the filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until the filling is firm and flavors meld.
Notes
- Use ripe raspberries for best flavor and juiciness.
- Gently fold ingredients to keep filling light and airy.
- Allow sufficient chill time for neat slicing.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more maple syrup (natural) if desired.
- Serve chilled for the freshest taste.
