Fabulous color…rich, dark pink….so pretty. This pie is delicious. More than half was gone in
less than a few hours and it was just hubby and me. It is sweet-tart with a delicious cookie
crust on the bottom, although you could skip the crust, if you like. You can also use frozen strawberries instead of raspberries.

Cookie
Crust: In medium bowl, combine Gluten-Free Bake Mix (or ground almonds and coconut flour mixture), powdered sweetener and salt.
Rub in butter with your fingers until evenly distributed. In small bowl
whisk together egg yolk, liquid sweetener, ice cold water and vanilla extract. Stir into dry ingredients until they come
together (It should not be too wet, so add a little more bake mix, if
needed). Press into a 9-inch (23 cm)
glass pie dish and a little way up the circumference. Bake 15 minutes, or until crust is turning golden
in places. Set aside to cool.
Filling: In food
processor or mixer, process cream cheese, liquid sweetener, lemon zest and
lemon juice until smooth. In medium bowl
combine raspberries and granular sweetener. In cereal bowl, combine gelatin and water. Nuke about 35 seconds or until gelatin has melted and dissolved. Stir gelatin mixture and Crème Fraiche into the cream cheese filling. Then stir in the raspberries, until the whole
mixture is a beautiful, bright pink color.
Scoop into center of cooled crust.
Spread mixture evenly in pie dish. Cover pie with a dinner plate turned upside down and refrigerate.
Crème
Fraiche: In ice cold mixing bowl with ice cold beaters
or in food processor with whipping assembly, on lower speed process whipping
cream with liquid sweetener. While
processing, sprinkle in xanthan gum. As
it thickens significantly, quickly add the sour cream and vanilla extract, just
until combined.
