Apple Cider Rice Krispies Treats

I love rice krispies treats. So when I was thinking of making something with apples, I thought, why not make an apple cider rice krispies treat similar to an apple cider donut? And lo and behold, there was already a recipe online! haha. This rice krispies treat had a slight tang of the apple cider but I feel like it could have definitely used more of a stronger apple flavor.

Banana Pudding

Have you heard of Magnolia Bakery? They’re a super popular bakery most well known for their banana pudding, but did you know that they use instant pudding mix?! Even so, their banana pudding is still delicious haha. But did you also know that making banana pudding at home is super easy and so much cheaper? You can also use instant pudding mix if you like, but I like to make my pudding from scratch :)

Spicy Korean Chex Mix

Have you ever had furikake chex mix? It’s so so good. I made it (using Justonecookbook’s recipe) as part of my Christmas cookie box last Christmas and so many of my friends raved about it. This led me to think of making my own version, but Korean! I drew inspiration from tteokbokki and decided to mirror its flavor profile.

Strawberry Matcha Pie

I love strawberry matcha lattes. Which led me to then think, wouldn’t it be great as a pie? So I decided to make a strawberry matcha pie! I made Four & Twenty Blackbirds’ matcha pie as a base and decided to top it with some delicious strawberry whipped cream. Since I paired it with strawberries, I added more matcha to contrast with the flavors better. A perfect recipe just in time for spring! :)
