White Chocolate Raspberry Pie

I made this last night for a dinner party we went to and it got rave reviews. Seriously. Everyone loved it. And I'll admit I was a little nervous about it since I had never made it before and I sorta combined 3 different recipes and tweaked even that version. It was just the right blend of sweet and tart, though -- so satisfying. It was not runny (thankfully) and instead was this amazing creamy fruit consistency. We didn't have any ice cream with it, but I think next time I'll make sure it's there. Not because it needs it. Oh no. But just because it's one of those summer fruit pies that seems to require it. I did make my own crust for this, but that's only because I forgot to buy those pre-made ones at the market. Surprisingly, too, it turned out. So I'll include that recipe here as well.
