When it comes to trendy foods, hybrids are at the top right now. In the past couple of years we’ve witnessed the explosion of the cronut, sushi burritos, & even our very own: spaghetti & meatball burger! Each one of these recipes combines your favorite ingredients to make the best foods even better.
So what’s the next big thing in food hybrids? Rice Krispie Crust Pie, of course! The crunchy krispies perfectly complement the smooth berry creamy (see what I did there?!) cheesecake center. It’s the perfect twist on a classic dessert that is always a crowd pleaser. Did I mention you can make it in three simple steps? There’s really no excuse not to take a break from the daily grind to make something your friends are all sure to enjoy, I know mine did! Get your bakin’ and refrigeratin’ on with the recipe below:
