Learn how to make Christina Tosi's famous Milk Bar pie, which was formerly known as Crack pie. The Milk Bar pie features an oat cookie crumb crust and a gooey sweet corn-flavoured filling, similar to a chess pie filling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the Milk Bar pie?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Milk Bar pie is a play on the classic American chess pie with an egg yolk-thickened sweet filling. Where I live, we don't have chess pies and I think the closest relative would be certain sugar pies that are thickened with eggs. My all-time favourite sugar pie is maple pie, like this gorgeous maple syrup pie<\/a> that is a real treat if you are a fan of maple syrup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Milk Bar pie was formerly called Crack pie. It underwent a name change in 2019. The former name came from the fact that once you start eating this pie, you can't stop. The name was insensitive and so Milk Bar renamed their famous pie to the Milk Bar pie. The recipe stayed the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This pie is a bestseller at Milk Bar, along with the Milk Bar birthday cake<\/a>, the birthday cake truffles<\/a>, and the compost cookies<\/a> (which have since been transformed into a compost pound cake<\/a> too).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
