For the Cheesecake Layer:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp lime juice
3/4 cup whipped topping
For the Raspberry Jello Layer:

1/4 cup sugar (adjust based on fruit ripeness)
1/2 cup water

Instructions
-
Prepare the Pretzel Crust: Crush the pretzels and mix with melted butter and brown sugar. Press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie plate. Refrigerate while preparing the other layers.
-
Make the Cheesecake Layer: In a bowl, blend softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and lime juice until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped topping until well combined.
-
Prepare the Raspberry Jello Layer: In a saucepan, combine sugar, water, raspberry gelatin, and cornstarch. Bring to a boil while stirring constantly. Once it thickens, pour the mixture over the fresh raspberries and stir gently to combine.
-
Assemble the Pie: Spread the cheesecake layer evenly over the chilled pretzel crust. Top with the raspberry mixture, spreading it evenly over the cheesecake layer.
-
Chill: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours to allow it to set completely before serving.
Notes
Berry Options: Swap raspberries with other berries like strawberries, blueberries, or blackberries for a different flavor.
Cream Cheese Alternatives: Use Greek yogurt or low-fat cream cheese for a lighter version.
Toppings: Add fresh whipped cream, extra berries, or a drizzle of chocolate syrup for added flavor and texture.
