Add a sweet indulgence to Easter dinner

(NC)-Special occasion meals call for special desserts - and Easter is no exception. This year, whether you're hosting an extended family get-together or a small family dinner, top off your meal with a slice of indulgence everyone will love.

Cherry Fluff Pie is an easy and delicious dessert that is perfect for Easter dinner. The crust is made with Kellogg's Rice Krispies - a family favourite and a surprising alternative to graham crackers or wafers that gives the pie a light, crunchy texture - and the creamy filling satisfies a sweet tooth without being too rich.

And the best part? You can make it a day ahead, so you can spend more time with your family on Easter day and less time in the kitchen.
