Equipment
Ingredients
Crust
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 tablespoons cold butter
- 1 large egg beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
Filling
- 2 large egg whites room temperature
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 ½ cups raspberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Prepare crust: In a medium-size bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter, until it resembles bread crumbs.
- In a small bowl, whisk together egg, vanilla extract, and whole milk. Stir into flour mixture (mixture will be sticky). Press dough into the bottom and sides of a greased 9-inch pie tin and set aside.
- Prepare filling: In another medium-sized mixing bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Depending on the temperature of the egg whites, this may take a while. Gradually beat in sugar, a tablespoon at a time, until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold raspberries into merginue, then spoon mixture over the crust.
- Place in preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until lightly browned.
- Cool to room temperature before serving.
Notes
- Resist the temptation to slice this pie while it's still warm. Cooling completely to room temperature allows the structure to set properly, making it easier to get clean slices when serving.
- Store any leftovers loosely covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The texture may change slightly as meringue tends to absorb moisture over time, but it will still taste delicious. Bring to room temperature before serving leftover slices.
- This pie can be made earlier in the day of serving, making it perfect for entertaining when you want to prepare dessert in advance.
- This versatile recipe works beautifully with strawberries (sliced), blackberries, or even a mixed berry combination. Just ensure whatever berries you choose are fresh and relatively dry to maintain the proper texture of the meringue.
