Pineapple Cloud Pie

Submitted by JDLucas2000

"A co-worker brought this in for myself and my wife to try. I was apprehensive at first (I don't usually like pies) but was completely won over on my first bite! I came home from work and started searching RZ for the recipe. To my surprise, no one had sent it in. I ended up finding similar ones on the site, but none that used the Rice Krispies as the crust. Personally, I think this made the pie better (and was why I loved it). I finally found the recipe on RiceKrispies.com and knew I had to submit it first thing! I have left the directions alone but substituted the brand names of the products my co-workers used (since I KNOW how AMAZING this is). I hope you enjoy this as much as I do! (For the original recipe as it appears on RiceKrispie.com, follow this link: http://www.ricekrispies.com/Display.aspx?kic=true&recipe_id=2073)"

Wow! This is a great easy dessert. I did use chunked pineapple just mixed them in with the sugar. I was skeptical about the rice crispies crust but it was still good, just something different. Thanks for an easy yummy recipe!

I really do love when you make this for me :P I would use Graham Cracker crust because I don't like Rise Krispies... BUT I love it anyway
