Rachelle's notes ♡

I like to smash up berries and sweeten them with powdered sugar for the topping.

My favorite cheesecake crust is made with pecans and GF pretzels that are blended until very fine. I add about 2 tablespoons sugar and mix them together, making about 1 1/2 cups. Add that to the butter and you've got a delicious crust!
