-
1. Prepare the crust: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly coat a 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray.
-
2. In a small bowl, combine the water and instant coffee; mix well. Stir in the egg white.
-
3. In a large bowl, combine the cookie crumbs and the egg white mixture, stirring with a fork until crumbly.
-
4. Using the back of a large spoon, press the crumb mixture onto the bottom of the prepared pie plate.
-
5. Bake 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven and chill the crust completely.
-
6. Prepare the filling: Puree raspberries in a food processor or blender, then strain through a fine sieve into a small saucepan.
-
7. Combine 1 tablespoon of the raspberry juice with the cornstarch and stir until smooth and pasty.
-
8. Add the cornstarch mixture and corn syrup to the remaining raspberry puree in the pan.
-
9. Cook and stir over medium heat about 5 minutes, until bubbly. Remove from heat and chill for about 45 minutes.
-
10. Assemble the pie: Quickly spread 1 pint of softened ice cream evenly over the chilled crust.
-
11. Cover with half of the thickened raspberry puree.
-
12. Repeat layering with the remaining ice cream and raspberry puree.
-
13. Freeze for 30 minutes. Cover the pie and freeze overnight.

14. Prepare the meringue: Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
-
15. In a large bowl, add the powdered egg whites to the warm water. Stir gently until dissolved, about 3 minutes.
-
16. With an electric mixer on high setting, beat until soft peaks form.
-
17. Gradually beat in the sugar and the vanilla, and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
-
18. Unwrap the frozen pie. With a spatula, spread the meringue completely over the top of the pie, mounding more meringue in the center.
-
19. Bake about 2 minutes, until the topping is browned.
