It doesn’t get much better than fresh peach pie, until you add blackberries and goat cheese into the mix in this goat cheese blackberry peach pie with streusel topping.
Am I crazy for posting a recipe just 3 days after I got married? I would say yes except that I made this recipe the weekend before the wedding (as if that’s any better) and wrote up almost the entire post 3 days before the wedding (am I really convincing you I am not crazy?). Totally reasonable… I think.
I don’t know what to say except I had a large remainder of the 25 pounds of peaches that eating straight was not going to conquer them fast enough. So I turned them into pie and then they will still go straight into my face. Because eating a serving of fruit covered in sugar with a crumbly topping is far superior.
You may think I ruined a good thing by adding goat cheese to this blackberry peach pie, but you would be mistaken. It’s like having little creamy bits of cheesecake dotted throughout the pie. The tartness of the goat cheese is balanced by the sweetness of the fruit filling. It’s quite amazing honestly and I’m not sure it would have been so damn delicious without the goat cheese. Heck I almost added some herbs as well but decided to stick to one savory ingredient at a time.
If it weren’t for the fact that I had a wedding dress to fit into, this blackberry peach pie would have disappeared before any of my family arrived in town for the wedding, but thanks to my will power others got to appreciate this wonderful creation. Of course the best way to enjoy it is slightly warm with a scoop of ice cream on top, in my case malted vanilla from Indulgence Ice Cream.
As for the wedding, the only thing I wish had been different (other than for it to never end) was to have had the ceremony outside, but unfortunately the sky decided to open up just 15 minutes before it was set to start. Silver lining is all those clouds made for perfect lighting for all our photos, most of which we were able to get outdoors before and after the rain. I’ll tell more stories and provide photos later.
While Bob and I are now exhausted, we still wish the weekend could have lasted longer, to spend more time with more people, and to not be back at work today haha. But we only have a couple weeks before we whisk away to New Orleans for our honeymoon! Any tips for things to do/eat while we are there are welcome!

Hi! I’m about to try this but I don’t have tapioca so I plan on using vanilla pudding. Is there a reason you chose tapioca? Results TBA!!!
Thanks so much!
Hey Amy, sorry I did not see this sooner. I use tapioca instead of flour or cornstarch because it doesn’t lose its effectiveness with combined with acidic ingredients. And it sets better. I hope it still turned out using pudding, although I hope you used a dry instant mix and not premade!

Congratulations on your wedding! You created a wonderful cake in between all your wedding planning! This pie is so flavorful! The fruit combo is perfect!
I love, love, Love blackberries and peaches together!
I’m not ready to let go of peach season
This is such a creative pie! I bet it is scrumptious!
I love the flavour combination! Can’t wait to try it. Pinned!
What a flavor combo! Love blackberry peach, but adding goat cheese makes it so much more fun!
I love the combination of blackberry and peach. That is total summer flavor!
It really was one of my favorite things I made this summer
What a great idea to include cheese in this pie. Fruit and cheese belong together.
I love mixing sweet and savory
I love the goat cheese and fruit combination! And putting a streusal on top? I definitely need to try this. Except I keep buying peaches and go to use them a few days later and they’re moldy already :( any tips??
Hurry before peach season is over!
As for the moldy peaches, I’m not sure as that’s not happened to me! Maybe add something to absorb moisture?
Erin, you have outdone yourself with this one. I’m not real likely to make this one because I can’t afford to eat pie, but I’ve definitely saved the recipe, for such a time as when I might have a whole houseful of guests to eat it. Again not likely, but you never know… I’m glad to know your wedding went well, and hope you have a great time in NOLA. Wish I could advise you, but I’ve never been there.
OMG this looks SO good. I would love to try this but I really can’t handle goat cheese. What would you suggest for an alternative? Ricotta? Creme Fraiche?
I’d use cream cheese if you don’t like goat cheese
