Momofuku Milk Bar crack pie
A few days ago, I noticed a tweet in my stream from @LATimesFood. The linked recipe was for Momofuku Milk Bar’s crack pie. Since much has been written about the desserts at Momofuku Milk Bar and because I had never been there, let alone eaten a slice of a $44 pie, I decided I would give the recipe a try.
Like the other recipes in the Momofuku cookbook, this one had a number of steps that needed to be followed to end up with the finished dish. For example, to create the oatmeal crust, you first have to prepare the dough, bake it, then crumble the resulting “cookie” to create the final pie shell. The filling called for milk power, which would have been difficult for me to find, if I did not already have some on hand.
Once you get past the hurdles, this recipe was a cinch to throw together. The folks at the LA Times, liked eating this warm. I enjoyed a slice right out of the freezer. Sweet and buttery, this pie is extremely rich.
If you want to make this, the recipe can be found here.
