Ritz torte taste of home

This Appalachian Ritz Torte is a delicious and easy-to-bake dessert recipe calling for Ritz crackers, pecans and Cool Whip.

With a meringue-like base that’s salty, crunchy, chewy, and sweet and a pillowy whipped cream topping, Ritz torte is a regional delight. Originally from Appalachia, this dessert deserves nationwide attention.

First let me clarify that this is NOT the "mock apple pie" that some people have tried (not me). This is made in a pie plate, but could just as easily be made in a small cake pan or baking dish. I have seen variations, including one with chocolate chips thrown in that I might try soon, but this is the original. Ritz Cracker Pie 3 egg whites 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 cup sugar 20 crumbled Ritz crackers (no substitutes) 1 ½ cups chopped pecans 1 teaspoon vanilla cool whip, dream whip or…

Folks who adore the classic cookies will enjoy that same beloved flavor in these chocolate chip bars. This blondie recipe can be mixed up in a jiffy, tastes wonderful, and is perfect for occasions when company drops by unexpectedly or you need a treat in a hurry. —Rhonda Knight, Hecker, Illinois
