  1. In a medium bowl, mix 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, and 6 tbsp melted butter until combined. Press firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Chill for 30 minutes.
  2. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips with 1/2 cup heavy cream, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tsp vanilla extract.
  3. Pour the white chocolate mixture over the chilled crust. Arrange 2 cups fresh raspberries on top, pressing lightly into the filling. Chill for at least 4 hours, or until set.
  4. Just before serving, dust with 1/4 cup powdered sugar for a sweet finish.

The magic of this pie lies in the contrast between the velvety white chocolate and the bright pop of raspberries, creating a dessert that’s as beautiful as it is delicious.

Tip: For an extra touch of elegance, garnish with a few whole raspberries and a drizzle of melted white chocolate before serving.
