more new fangled


I made something else with that can of crisps. Pringles chips have a unique sweet and salty flavor that actually works as an ingredient really well.



I crushed up the crisps with a little unsalted butter and put them in the bottom of a pan.



I filled the pan with cheescake mixture.



I served the cheesecakes with a little cantaloupe coulis and a fresh fig garnish.



The Pringles added a nice soft crunch and almost a nutty flavor to the soft and creamy cheesecake.



I also made some in little ramekins



and served them up similarly....



and not so similarly. I dont know who is more versatile - me or Pringles. Stay tuned I still have a couple more ideas tucked way up my sleeve.

Clever! very clever indeed! I wouldn't have thought of that at all, The Pringle being in the salty corner of the playground! I guess I'm a bit narrow minded. But it must have worked out very well! Beautiful plate!

Sweta (My Indian Dietitian) said...

What a wonderful way to use the Pringles-this may just tempt me to crumble the chips ;-)

KennyT said...

Wow, Pringles as an ingredient? This is amazing. Looking forward to more creative ideas, thanks!!

LK- Healthy Delicious said...

gorgeous! and brilliant to use them as cheesecake crust.

Christo Gonzales said...

Angie: oven cleaner works wonders - I spray it on everything...

anette: it worked out great! its just the right touch to accompany all the sweets

sweta: crumble - dont be afraid to crumble

kenny: maybe I can make a tiramisu...

LK: I have used pretzels so why not Pringles - they are both in the 'P' family...LOL

yeah what's up with that? your oven is clean for a guy. mine, is, umm not so good.
ok so we have potato chips & cheesecake and a bit of sweet too? Dog I must be rubbing off on you; this sweet & salty is a good thing man.

Good twist on a classic crumb crust.

Awesome idea!!! I think I may just have to buy me a bunch of pringles right now.

Cynthia said...

Pringles should pay you for these great ideas!

Christo Gonzales said...

dawn: what are trying to say? 'clean for a guy' dont make me get all chauvanistic (I cant even spell it)

pavithra: I am drooling too if that helps

marjie: sweet and salty!

laura: and the berries and cantaloupe top it all off

jenn: go for it!

cynthia: I hope they appreciate it!

Diana H said...

Interesting, a Pringles cheesecake. What will you think of next. I like the cantaloupe sauce with the thinly sliced figs. Where do you find your figs?

Ciao Chow Linda said...

Oh you are a clever, clever fellow. I may have to go buy some pringles just for your recipes.

T.W. Barritt at Culinary Types said...

This is ingenious! They look beautiful! Would never have thought I'd be dreaming of Pringles for dessert!

Christo Gonzales said...

diana: street vendors sell the green and purple figs for a couple bucks a basket

linda: you are mighty clever yourself - the blossom shrouded omelette - that was a bright and shining star

TW: dont be ingenuous with ingenious I will believe you in a minute!

deb said...

Tangled Noodle said...

Awesome! Pringles are my favorite snack - I could never share a can with anyone. Thank you, thank you for giving me a very good reason to buy some!

dsdsds said...

Awesome clicks..

Heather S-G said...

Ooh--I like the pringles cheesecake! Very innovative. And delicious.

CreativeMish said...

I bet this tasted great with that little bit of salty flavor!

Jessie said...

very interesting combination between the pringles and cheesecake! I'm loving it

The Diva on a Diet said...

Ya know, initially I balked at the cooking with Pringles challenge when they emailed ... but it just goes to show I'm not as creative as I should be. These little cheesecake gems are calling my name. Wow, well done!

pigpigscorner said...

oh wow, never thought of using pringles like this!

Gina said...

are you sending this in to Protoc and Gamble.....I mean really...they need to think, like you, outside of the box...or in their case the tube
