Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.
Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, then remove it from the oven and allow it to cool completely.
In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of raspberries, 3/4 cup of sugar, cornstarch, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and begins to boil. Remove from heat and press the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the seeds. Discard the seeds and set the raspberry puree aside.
In another saucepan, whisk together the lemon juice and egg yolks. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken. Gradually add in the raspberry puree while continuing to stir.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of butter until the filling is smooth and glossy. Let the mixture cool slightly before pouring it into the cooled pie crust.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is fully set.
Just before serving, whip the cream and powdered sugar together in a bowl until soft peaks form. Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the top of the set pie.
Garnish with fresh raspberries and a sprinkle of lemon zest.
Slice, serve, and enjoy!
