Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare pie crust and roll dough to fit a 9-inch pie pan; set aside. Combine raspberries, cornstarch, sugar, lemon juice, water, 1/2 teaspoon lemon rind, butter, and vanilla in medium saucepan. Over medium heat, stir constantly until thick and bubbly, about 5 to 6 minutes. Pour into unbaked pie crust.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese with electric mixer until fluffy. Gradually beat in sweetened condensed milk, eggs, lemon juice, vanilla, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon lemon rind. Pour cheese mixture over raspberries. Bake 35 minutes, or until set. Cheese will begin to split a little on top. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
- Prepare sour cream topping by mixing together the sour cream, sugar, and lemon juice. Spread over cooled pie.
- Flute whipped cream over the sour cream topping, beginning at outer edge and working in. Leave a 4-inch circle in the center for raspberries. Lightly cover raspberries with sprinkles. Makes 8 large or 16 small pieces.
