National Raspberry Cream Pie Day

August 1st marks National Raspberry Cream Pie Day. These sweet pies were created sometime prior to the 1880s after the plain sugar cream pie was invented in 1850.

The addition of raspberries adds in all of the tiny fruit’s many beneficial nutrients. Raspberries contain essential vitamins such as vitamins C, B1, and B3, as well as  iron, copper, manganese, magnesium, and dietary fiber.

The first published record of a raspberry cream pie recipe can be found in James Clarke’s cookbook, “Tasty Dishes”. The popularity of the cream pie dipped at the start of the 20th century, but was revitalized during WWII as a new generation put their spin on the tasty delight.
