1-Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Trust me, getting the oven ready first is a game-changer for smooth sailing!

2-In a medium bowl, combine the pretzel crumbs, butter, honey, and cinnamon. Mix until everything is well incorporated and resembles wet sand.

3-Press most of the mixture firmly into an 8-9 inch pie plate, making sure to cover the bottom and sides evenly.

4-Reserve about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and spread it on a small baking sheet. This will be our crunchy topping later!

5-Bake both the crust and the extra crumbs for about 8 minutes until they’re nicely toasted and fragrant.

6-Remove from the oven and let cool completely. Once cool, crumble the reserved baked dough – this will be our delicious topping later!

7-In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream and vanilla extract with an electric mixer on medium-high speed. Continue beating until soft peaks form, which should take about 2-3 minutes.

8-Add the crème fraîche (or cream cheese) and sugar to the whipped cream. Beat until everything is just incorporated, about 30 seconds. Be careful not to overmix!

9-Place the cream mixture in the refrigerator to chill until needed.

10-Once the crust has cooled completely, spread the raspberry jam evenly over the bottom of the crust. This creates a lovely tart layer that balances the sweetness of the cream.

11-Top with the chilled cream mixture, spreading it evenly over the jam layer.

12-Cover the pie and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, or overnight if possible. This allows the pie to set properly and develop its flavors. Alternatively, you can freeze the pie at this stage if you prefer.

13-Just before serving, bring the 1/3 cup of honey to a low boil in a small saucepan. Let it simmer for about 1 minute, then remove from heat.

14-Stir the sliced peaches into the hot honey, ensuring they’re well coated. Let this mixture cool for about 10 minutes.

15-To serve, spoon the honeyed peach slices over the chilled cream pie. Top with fresh raspberries and sprinkle with the crumbled pretzel crumbs we saved earlier.

16-Slice and serve immediately. Get ready for some happy faces around the table!
