Ingredients
Cheese
- 1 (8 oz) block Cheddar Cheese
Crackers
- 12 Triscuit Thin Crisps
- 12 Ritz Toasted Chips
Other
- Whipped Cream Cheese (amount as desired for piping and assembling)
Instructions
- Slice Cheese: Slice the cheddar cheese block in half lengthwise, then cut each half alternately to form triangles approximately the same size as the Triscuit crackers.
- Assemble Cheese on Triscuits: Place one cheese triangle on top of each Triscuit Thin Crisp, creating the ‘pie’ base.
- Prepare Cream Cheese Piping Bag: Transfer desired amount of whipped cream cheese into a Ziplock bag and cut a small corner off to use as a piping bag.
- Prepare Ritz Chips: Break each toasted Ritz chip in half, leaving enough of one half intact so it stands taller than the back of the assembled ‘pie’.
- Glue Ritz Chips: Using whipped cream cheese as ‘glue,’ attach the broken pieces of Ritz chips to create the pie’s ‘sides’ standing upright as pictured.
- Top with Whipped Cream Cheese: Add a small dollop of whipped cream cheese on top of the cheese triangle to mimic the look of whipped cream topping.
Notes
- This recipe requires no cooking, making it quick and perfect for last-minute gatherings.
- Use the whipped cream cheese sparingly to keep the overall appetizer light and balanced.
- Feel free to substitute with different types of cheddar for varied flavors.
- These mini ‘pies’ are great finger food for parties and complement fall-themed events especially.
- Ensure cracker halves used as ‘sides’ are sturdy enough to stand upright for best presentation.
