How do I add recipes and ingredients to my Tasty Grocery Bag?

Tap the “Add Items to Grocery Bag” button on the recipe page.

If you have not yet shared your location, we’ll ask you to do so and ask you to select your preferred store location.

We’ll then match the ingredients in the recipe to available products in store and show them in your Tasty Grocery Bag!

How does the Tasty Grocery Bag work in the Tasty app?

When you add items to your Tasty Grocery Bag, we’ll only add the amount you need to make the recipe.

If you are shopping ingredients from multiple recipes, any items that are needed for multiple recipes will be grouped under a section labeled “Shared Ingredients”.

What is the section labeled “Pantry Ingredients” in my Tasty Grocery Bag?

Pantry Ingredients are pantry staples like salt and pepper – items we think you might already have at home. These items will be listed in your Tasty Grocery Bag in the app if they’re needed for a recipe, but are automatically not added to your order. If you’d like to purchase them, simply tap the blue “+” button for that item, and that item will be added to your Tasty Grocery Bag.

Preparation

  1. Make the cheesecake: Line an 8-inch (20 cm) square baking dish with parchment paper and grease with nonstick spray.
  2. Add the cookies to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until broken down into fine crumbs. Transfer to a medium bowl and add the melted butter. Stir until well combined and the consistency resembles wet sand.
  3. Transfer the cookie crumbs to the prepared baking dish and pat down in an even layer. Set aside.

  5. Prepare the cheesecake mix according to the package instructions, then spread the filling over the crust in an even layer. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  6. Prepare the strawberry jello mix according to the package instructions. Gently ladle half of the jello mixture on top of chilled cheesecake. Return to the fridge and let set until firm, about 90 minutes. Save the remaining jello for another use, if desired.
  7. Make the meringue: In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Cook over medium heat until the mixture reaches 240°F (115°C).

  9. Meanwhile, add the egg white to a medium bowl and whip with an electric hand mixer until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes. With the mixer on medium speed, carefully and slowly drizzle in the hot sugar syrup. Increase the mixer speed to high and whip until stiff peaks form. Let cool slightly, then transfer to a piping bag fitted with a piping tip. Set aside until ready to use.
  10. Make the candy shards: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add the sugar and water to a small saucepan. Heat over medium-high heat until the mixture reaches 295–300°F (145-150°C). Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and carefully tilt the pan spread in a thin layer. Don’t touch the candy, it will be hot! Let sit until the candy cools and hardens, about 2 minutes. Use a meat mallet or spoon to crack the candy into small pieces.
  11. Make the coulis: In a small bowl, stir together the jam and water. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any clumps.
  12. Assemble the cheesecake: Use a pastry brush to lightly brush coulis across each plate. Set a thin slice of cheesecake in the center. Top with crushed wafer cookies, crushed freeze-dried strawberries, raspberry candy, candy shards, small mounds of meringue, and toasted coconut flakes. Sprinkle more garnishes on the plate.
  13. Serve immediately.
  14. Enjoy!
