"This pie was inspired by the Ratatouille movie. The basic theme of the movie was that anyone can cook; I had never made a pie before and this was my first attempt, it went well. My son has a passion for cooking at his young age and I try to encourage it as much as I can".
Put the gelatin in 1/4 cup of cold water.In a heavy saucepan, combine 2 cups of raspberries with 1/4 cup of water. (Not the gelatin water).
Boil the raspberries and water on moderate heat for 2 minutes.
Pour through a sieve removing the seeds , saving raspberry puree.
You should have a cup of puree, if not add water to get a cup.
Combine corn starch and sugar mixing well.
Add sugar mixture and heavy cream to saucepan with the puree , whisking until smooth.
Place on low heat till mixture boils and becomes thick and translucent. Then boil one minute more.
Remove from heat add lemon juice, vanilla, and gelatin water mix.
Put the mixture in a bowl and chill for at least thirty minutes.
Pour the entire mixture in the pie crust with remaining raspberries and chill for at least three hours. I have found that overnight works better.
Serve with whipped cream.
