Instructions:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Prepare sour cream topping by mixing together the sour cream, sugar, and lemon juice.  Spread over cooled pie.
  4. 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.
