How to Make Das Dutchman Essenhaus Raspberry Cream Pie

  1. **Raspberry Pudding:**
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup water and ¾ cup granulated sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together ¼ cup cornstarch, ¼ teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons cold water, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice until smooth.
  4. Gradually whisk the cornstarch mixture into the simmering sugar water.
  5. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes clear (about 1-2 minutes).
  6. Remove from heat. Stir in 1 packet (1 tablespoon) unflavored gelatin until completely dissolved.
  7. Gently fold in 2 cups fresh raspberries. Let cool completely.
  8. **Vanilla Filling:**
  9. In a saucepan, heat 3 cups milk until just scalding (do not boil).
  10. In a separate bowl, whisk together ¼ cup cornstarch, ½ cup granulated sugar, ¼ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 large egg yolks, and 1 cup of the hot milk until smooth.
  11. Gradually whisk the egg yolk mixture into the remaining hot milk in the saucepan, stirring constantly until thickened (about 5-7 minutes).
  12. Remove from heat and pour into a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until completely cool.
  13. **Assembly:**
  14. Pour 2 cups of the cooled vanilla filling into two 9-inch pie shells.
  15. Top each pie with 2 cups of the cooled raspberry pudding.
  16. Top with whipped cream before serving. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld.
