Raspberry Pie With Chambord - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    pastry dough, for single pie crust
    3/4 cup sugar
    3 tablespoons cornstarch
    5 cups fresh red raspberries (or frozen)
    1/4 cup Chambord raspberry liquor
    1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
    1/3 cup powdered sugar
    1/2 teaspoon vanilla
    salt (a dash)
    3/4 cup whipping cream
    fresh red raspberries
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 375.
    Fit pie pastry into a 9-inch pie pan; crimp edges as desired; do not prick pastry.
    Filling--in a bowl, combine sugar and cornstarch.
    Add the 5 cups raspberries and Chambord; toss gently (if using frozen berries, let mixture stand about 45 minutes or until berries are partially thawed but still icy).
    Transfer filling to pastry-lined pie plate.
    To prevent overbrowning, cover edge of pie with foil; bake for 30 minutes (50 minutes for frozen berries); remove foil; bake 25-30 minutes more or until pastry is golden brown and filling is bubbly near to the center; cool on a wire rack.
    Before serving, in a bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth.
    Beat in powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt until combined; set aside.
    In another bowl, beat cream on medium speed until soft peaks form; fold about 1/3 cup of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to lighten.
    Fold in remaining whipped cream.
    Spread the whipped cream mixture over top of pie; sprinkle with additional berries, for garnish.
    Expect the pie to be juicy.
