DIRECTIONS

  1. PREPARE pie crust dough according to recipe directions. Shape dough into one large ball. Flatten into 1/2-inch thick disk. Wrap in plastic wrap. Chill 30 minutes.

  3. BEAT cream cheese in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until creamy. Beat in 1 1/4 C. sugar and 2 Tbsp. corn starch until smooth. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until blended. Blend in cream and vanilla. Pour into hot pie crust. Reduce over temperature to 325°F. Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until filling is just set in center. Cool completely on wire rack. Chill.
  4. CRUSH raspberries in small saucepan. Stir in water, 1 C. sugar, 1/4 C. corn starch and jalapeños until corn starch is dissolved. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Cook 1 minute or until mixture has thickened. Cool to room temperature. Spread over top of pie. Garnish with whipped cream, raspberries and a sprinkling of finely chopped jalapeno, if desired.
