Ingredients

For the Crust:

• 1½ cups finely ground salted pretzel crumbs
  
  

• ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  
  

• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  
  

For the Filling:

• 1½ cups heavy cream
  
  

• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  
  

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  
  

• ¼ cup powdered sugar
  
  

• 2 tablespoons raspberry jam

For the Topping:

• ⅓ cup honey
  
  

• 3 ripe peaches, sliced
  
  

• ½ cup fresh raspberries

Directions

1. Prepare the Crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine the pretzel crumbs, melted butter, and brown sugar. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake for about 8 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
   
   

2. Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream and vanilla extract with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Add the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar, and continue to beat until smooth and well combined. Gently fold in the raspberry jam until evenly distributed.
   
   

3. Assemble the Pie: Spread the cream mixture evenly into the cooled pretzel crust. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the filling to set.
   
   

4. Prepare the Topping: In a small saucepan, heat the honey over medium-low heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and stir in the sliced peaches. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to cool and allow the flavors to meld.
   
   

5. Serve: Before serving, spoon the honeyed peaches and fresh raspberries over the chilled pie. Slice and enjoy the delightful combination of textures and flavors.
