This Easter dessert started as an April fools joke to get Chef Gordon Ramsey worked up and get his attention, But its actually pretty tasty. Not a regular occasion dessert but a fun treat for the kids
Peep Wellington the King of All Easter Desserts
Peep Wellington does have a nice ring to it and does follow a lot of the same culinary principles of the classic English Beef Wellington.
Layers of Rice Krispy Treats studded w/ Jelly Beans and Robin Eggs acting as the Dexelle Layer, Peeps as the beef tenderloin and the puff pasty holding it all together.
Speaking of Easter checkout my Bacon Wrapped Smoked Leg of Lamb since you’ll need something savory to serve along with your peep Wellington.
Its for the Children…Dont Take it too Seriously
After I posted this recipe on social medial it was followed by the predictable one word “Gross”or puke emoji responses.
This is not a recipe intended for adults with refined palates, it a fun project for kids and a great way to use up all that easter candy.
So if this Easter Dessert has you triggered to the point of yelling at a stranger on the internet I kindly ask that you take a deep breathe and know that you’re taking things too seriously.
If after that you still feel the need to give your opinion you can find me at @grilling24x7 on instagram and I look forward to hearing from you.
