    1/3 cup LAND O LAKES® Butter, melted
    1/4 cup sugar

    Filling Ingredients:

    1 (10-ounce) package frozen raspberries in syrup, thawed
    1/4 cup water
    1 (1/4-ounce) envelope unflavored gelatin
    1/4 cup sugar
    2 tablespoons raspberry-flavored liqueur or water
    1/2 cup powdered sugar
    1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese or light cream cheese
    1 cup whipping cream, whipped
    2 (6-ounce) containers fresh raspberries, washed, drained,
    reserve 1/2 cup*

    Recipe



    Heat oven to 350°F. Combine all crust ingredients in medium
    bowl. Press onto bottom and up sides of ungreased 9-inch pie
    pan. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool
    completely.

    Place frozen raspberries and syrup in 5-cup blender container
    or food processor bowl fitted with metal blade. Cover; blend
    at high speed until pureed (1 minute). Strain sauce to remove
    seeds.

    Place water in 1-quart saucepan; sprinkle with gelatin. Let
    stand 5 minutes to soften. Cook over low heat until gelatin
    is dissolved (1 to 2 minutes). Remove from heat; stir in
    raspberry puree, 1/4 cup sugar and liqueur. Cover; refrigerate
    until mixture mounds when dropped from spoon (30 to 40 minutes).

    Beat powdered sugar and cream cheese in small bowl until smooth.
    Gently stir in 1 cup whipped cream.

    Spread cream cheese mixture into cooled crust. Arrange fresh
    raspberries over cream cheese mixture. Pour gelatin mixture
    over raspberries, spreading to cover. Cover; refrigerate until
    gelatin is set (2 to 3 hours).

    Just before serving, pipe remaining whipped cream onto pie.
    Garnish with reserved fresh raspberries.

    *Substitute 2 cups individually frozen raspberries.

    Makes 8 servings
