You read the title correctly. This is a Christina Tosi recipe and I surmise this pie and the real thing have a fair amount in common. The addictive quality, thinking about it when you shouldn’t be, and wondering when you’re going to get it again are likely common themes for both. I can say definitely that all rings true with regard to crack pie. How To Crack Pecan Shells As FertilizerMY OTHER RECIPESLike all of Christina’s recipes, there are multiple steps and recipes within recipes but the results were worth it. First, let’s talk about the crust. It’s starts as a sheetpan- style giant oatmeal cookie slab that’s made from butter, brown and white sugar, an egg yolk, flour, and oats. The big cookie slab is spread about 1/4- inch thick onto a sheetpan, baked for 1. That’s right, after cooling, the cookie is crumbled up with a bit more brown sugar and more butter, and packed into a pie plate as the crust. After packing the crust in, I made the filling, halving her recipe for the filling. I made the full amount of cookie (crust) because the extra was easily tossed into lunches and gobbled as snacks but I didn’t need two whole pies laying around so halved the filling amount to make “just” one pie. Too much temptation being around that much Crack otherwise. The filling is made with heavy cream, 4 egg yolks for each pie filling (8 in the full recipe) vanilla extract, white and brown sugar, milk powder, and she also called for 1/4 cup of corn powder (finely pulverized corn flour, not corn starch). I had every sheet pan, mixing bowl, spatula, and measuring cup I own dirtied up for this pie. Would I make this again? Yes, definitely and with the changes I noted in the recipe section. I’d even consider using a store- bought graham cracker crust and just making the filling because that’s very do- able and not too time- consuming for the average person trying to juggle life, family, work, school, and not spend 3 hours in the kitchen to make one dessert. All in all this baby is sweet, creamy, and will make you moan and groan. It’s full of texture from the crunchy oat cookie, complemented with the buttery smooth filling. Each bite is crack- like, indeed. I can only imagine the Google search hits my site is going to get after this post. Print Recipe. The recipe lives up to its name and everyone should try this pie at least once. It's a fairly involved recipe from Christina Tosi's Momofuku Milk Bar cookbook, as are all her recipes. I wrote extensively in the blog post about the changes I made to the recipe and what I would do in the future. Make sure to thoroughly read the post and recipe a few times before beginning. Yield: two 1. 0- inch pies. Prep Time: about 2 hours. Cook Time: about 2. Total Time: about 5 hours, to allow for cooling. Ingredients: Pie. In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, cream butter and sugars on medium- high for 2 to 3 minutes until fluffy and pale yellow in color. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl with a spatula. On a lower speed, add the egg to incorporate. Increase the speed back up to a medium- high for 1 to 2 minutes until the sugar granules fully dissolve and the mixture is a pale white color. On a lower speed, add the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix 6. 0- 7. 5 seconds until your dough comes together and all remnants of dry ingredients have incorporated. Your dough will still be a slightly fluffy, fatty mixture in comparison to your average cookie dough. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl with a spatula. Pam spray and line a quarter sheet pan with parchment or a Silpat. Plop the oat cookie dough in the center of the pan and with a spatula, spread it out until it is 1/4. The dough won’t end up covering the entire pan, this is okay. Bake the oat cookie for 1. Cool completely before using in the crack pie recipe. To prepare the pie filling, mix the dry ingredients for the filling using a stand mixer with a paddle attachment on low speed. Be sure to keep your mixer on low speed during the entire process of preparing the filling; if you try to mix on any higher than a low speed, you will incorporate too much air in the following steps and your pie will not be dense and gooey – the essence of the crack pie. Add the melted butter to the mixer and paddle until all the dry ingredients are moist. Add the heavy cream and vanilla and mix until the white from the cream has completely disappeared into the mixture. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula. Add the egg yolks to the mixer, paddling them in to the mixture just to combine. Be careful not to aerate the mixture. Use the filling immediately. To assemble the pies, preheat the oven to 3. Put the oat cookie, brown sugar and salt in the food processor and pulse it on and off until the cookie is broken down into a wet sand. If it is not moist enough to do so, gently melt an additional 1- 1 1/2 tablespoons of butter and knead it into the oat crust mixture. Divide the oat crust evenly over 2- 1. Make sure the bottom and the walls of the pie shells are evenly covered. Use the pie shells immediately or, wrapped well in plastic, store the pie shells at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Place both pie shells on a sheet pan. Divide the crack pie filling evenly over both crusts (the filling should fill the crusts 3/4 way full) and bake at 3. During this time, the crack pie will still be very jiggly, but should become golden brown on top. At 1. 5 minutes, open the oven door and reduce the baking temperature to 3. Depending on your oven this will take 5- 1. When the oven temperature reads 3. After 5 minutes, the pies should still be jiggly in the bull’s eye centers, but not in the outer center circle. If the pies are still too jiggly, leave them in the oven an additional 5 minutes. Gently remove the baked pies from the oven and transfer to a rack to cool at room temperature. You can speed up the cooling process by transferring the pies to the fridge or freezer if you’re in a hurry. Freeze your pie for as little as 3 hours or up to overnight to condense the filling for a dense final product – the signature of a perfectly executed Crack Pie. Just before serving finish with a dusting of confectioners’ sugar. Adapted from Momofuku Milk Bar. Recipe Notes and Items I Would or Did Change: I would halve the entire recipe, not just the filling portion, right off the bat (no one needs two of these laying around, nor do you “need” the extra cookie portion; unless you have the freezer space for it or company or are training for a triathlon, halving is my recommendation)I would use a 9- inch, not 1. I felt it was just “barely” enough filling and don’t attribute it to halving the recipe. I also used more than half the cookie for the crust and feel a 9- inch would be better. I would underbake the cookie crust by about 2. I would consider buying a store- bought graham cracker pie crust and just making Christina’s filling if I wanted to take this recipe from 2 hours of standing on my feet to 1. I didn’t miss the corn powder and would continue to use my 1 1/2 tablespoons of all- purpose flour because I am frugal, didn’t want to source it, and don’t want to store a bag of corn powder in my already maxed out cupboard space for the occasional one tablespoon use of it. Tosi recommends baking the entire pie, crust and filling together, for 1. F, opening the oven door and allowing the oven to cool to 3. F, and then baking for about 5 more minutes after the oven temperature has reached 3. F (about 2. 0- 2. I needed to bake mine for about 3. Also I was only baking one pie; if I had two in the oven, it would have taken even longer. Only Eats. Recipe from Averie Cooks. All images and content are copyright protected.

This post is part of my participation in the Milk Bar Monday’s Group. My last post with the group was Cinnamon Bun Pie, which I took ample shortcuts for and this doughy hot mess is a 1. My most recipe inspiration from Christina Tosi was my Buttery Toasted Captain Crunchies. She makes something similar with Corn Flakes, or Fruity Pebbles, and I tweaked her recipe and used Cap’n Crunch. They taste like buttered toast much more so than Cap’n Crunch, are uber crunchy, and highly addictive. See what the other Milk Bar Monday ladies created this week: Audra from The Baker Chick. Cassie from Bake Your Day. Erin from Big Fat Baker. Jacqueline from The Dusty Baker. Krissy from Krissy’s Creations.

Do you have a favorite crust or filling recipe? The last pie I made and blogged about was this vegan, gluten free, no- bake pumpkin pie. I am more of a fan of pie filling than whole pies, because most crust because tends to be boring and dry and don’t prefer to consume dry and boring calories. When I think of pie, this caramel maple pumpkin smoothie tastes like pumpkin pie filling. All the “good” parts and flavors of pumpkin pie, no dry crusty parts involved.
