Raspberry Marshmallow Pie with Granola Crust

Ingredients

• 1 ¾ cups fresh raspberries*, divided 
• ½ cup whole milk
• 10 ounces marshmallows, I have used Vegan "Dandies"**
• 1 ¾ cups heavy cream, (not Cool-Whip!)
• 1 recipe Granola Crust, see recipe

Instructions

1. Make the Granola and Granola Crust. (You will add to a pie plate, press in and freeze until firm - see recipe.
2. Whip cream until soft peaks form. Add 3/4 cup of raspberries and continue to whip until berries are crushed and the cream is very firm. Will be a beautiful pink color. Refrigerate a few minutes while you melt the marshmallows.
3. Warm the milk in a 2 quart heavy pot. When just simmering, add all the marshmallows and stir with a rubber spatula until just melted over very low heat. Remove from heat and stir until completely smooth. Add to a clean bowl to cool down a bit.
4. When the marshmallow mixture is no longer hot, yet not totally cool - add the Raspberry - Whipped Cream mixture to the bowl in three additions, mixing in well, but gently with a rubber spatula. Add the remaining 1 cup of raspberries.
5. Spoon the filling into the Granola Crust. Smooth, rounding the top.
6. Place in the refrigerator to firm up for about 4 hours. Alternately, freeze the pie. When serving, soften for 30 minutes at room temperature.
7. Serve with a Raspberry Coulis if desired, and extra raspberries.
8. * Use fresh raspberries, or if using frozen, thaw at room temperature for 15 minutes.
