Crack pie from Momofuku Milk Bar (page 246) by Christina Tosi

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Incredible. Pretty easy with fairly accessible ingredients, especially compared to some of the recipes from Tosi.

    Fantastic flavor, a little trouble setting.

    Addictive! A real crowd pleaser for sweet tooths.

    This recipe has many components which can be made ahead, which is nice, since there are so many steps. However, I ended up making it all in one day, as it really isn't that time-consuming. Even with the required 3 hours of freezing time, we were able to have it for dessert the same night. I couldn't find 10" disposable pie pans, so I used 3 smaller ones. I did end up baking it for 10 minutes longer than the recipe stated in order for the pies to set up as directed. And I'm really glad it stores in the freezer - it's very rich. Overall, we enjoyed the pie. I liked it way better than I expected, as I thought it would be way too sweet, but I found myself strangely taken in by the gooey goodness. My husband simply said, "This is awesome!"

    This is every bit as addictive as it's title suggests. It is VERY rich so serve small servings.

    This is very good and almost a carbon copy of that served at the restaurant. It is, however, very sweet.

  • Bitten Word

    ...we found the Crack Pie filling to be more akin to a creme brulee: rich, buttery caramel goodness. It's all heightened by the oatmeal cookie crust, which is truly phenomenal.

    And Oh. My. It is insane. Kind of like pecan pie, without those pesky pecans. Wrapped in a crunchy oatmeal cookie.
