Cream pies are a type of sweet dessert dish. The pie is a filled pie, otherwise known as a bottom or single crust pie, in which the dish is lined with pastry, but the top is left open. Flaky pastry, which is similar to puff pastry but has large lumps of shortening in it, is the most common type of pie crust used, but there are other types.
In the cream pie, the pie crust is filled with a custard or pudding filling, which is then topped with whipped cream. The custard or pudding filling can come in a variety of flavours; in a raspberry cream pie this is, of course, raspberry flavoured. The most common type of raspberry used is the more widely known Eurasian red raspberry, but others could be used, such as the purple and black varieties. The raspberries are more likely to be puréed before being mixed into the filling, rather than being used whole.
