MOMOFUKU CRACK PIE



Momofuku Crack Pie image

This variation on chess pie was created by David Chang for his restaurant Momofuku in New York. (Another version of this is posted as recipe #414696 but that one has some quantities misstated.) The homemade cookie crust makes it special. If you don't have 10" pie pans, you can use 9", but the filling will be deeper, so it will need an extra 5-10 minutes cooking time. Prep time includes 1 hour for cooling the cookie. Published in my local paper http://bit.ly/aEhE8I

Time 2h40m

Yield 2 10" pies, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 21

3 ounces all-purpose flour (2/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon)
1/8 teaspoon baking powder, scant
1/8 teaspoon baking soda, scant
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup softened butter (1 stick)
2 1/2 ounces light brown sugar (1/3 cup)
1 1/4 ounces white sugar (3 tablespoons)
1 egg
3 1/2 ounces rolled oats (scant 1 cup)
1/4 cup butter (1/2 stick)
3/4 ounce light brown sugar (1 1/2 tablespoons)
1/8 teaspoon salt
10 1/2 ounces white sugar (1 1/2 cups)
7 ounces light brown sugar (1 cup less 3 1/2 tsp)
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 ounce powdered milk (1/3 cup plus 1 teaspoon)
1 cup butter, melted (2 sticks)
7/8 cup heavy cream (3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons, scant)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 egg yolks
powdered sugar, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment (or a large mixing bowl with a hand-held electric mixer), beat together butter, brown sugar and white sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and beat until combined.
  • With mixer running on low, add flour mixture in small increments until fully combined. Add oats and mix until combined.
  • Spread mixture into an unlined, ungreased 9x13 baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven 20 minutes until golden brown and set. Cool a few minutes in pan, then turn out onto a rack until cool to the touch. Lower the oven to 350°F while the cookie cools.
  • Crumble the cooled cookie into the workbowl of a food processor. Add butter, brown sugar and salt. Pulse until combined (a clump of the mixture should hold together when pinched together). Divide the mixture between 2 10" pie pans, pressing into an even, thin layer on the bottom and sides. (The top edge will be ragged.).
  • In a large bowl, whisk together white sugar, brown sugar, salt and powdered milk. Add melted butter, cream and vanilla and whisk until smooth. Whisk in egg yolks one at a time. Be careful not to incorporate too much air.
  • Divide the filling evenly between the two pie crusts. Bake one pie at a time for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 325°F for 10 minutes, until the filling is golden brown but still jiggly (like a pecan pie). Place pie pans on a rack to cool.
  • Refrigerate the pies until well-chilled; the filling will be gooey. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

MOMOFUKU'S CRACK PIE RECIPE



Momofuku's Crack Pie Recipe image

Crack Pie is a twist on Chess Pie -- an old-school dessert found in the "Joy of Cooking," popular because it can be made with common pantry ingredients such as butter, eggs, sugar and vanilla. But instead of just a humdrum pie shell that serves as a container for the filling, this has a shell that begins with a homemade oat cookie blended with a bit more butter, sugar and a healthy dash of salt. The result is a crust that is divinely rustic and unrefined -- don't bother trying to get a perfect edge as you press it into the pie plate. It just won't happen. The interior will jiggle when you remove it from the oven. You will fear that the pie is undercooked. But you must have faith. From the story: Crack Pie: It's love at first bite

Time 1h30m

Yield Makes 2 pies (6 to 8 servings each)

Number Of Ingredients 23

2/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon (3 ounces) flour
Scant 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
Scant 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) softened butter
1/3 cup (2 1/2 ounces) light brown sugar
3 tablespoons (1 1/4 ounces) sugar
1 egg
Scant 1 cup (3 1/2 ounces) rolled oats
Crumbled cookie for crust
1/4 cup ( 1/2 stick) butter
1 1/2 tablespoons ( 3/4 ounce) brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups (10 1/2 ounces) sugar
3/4 cup plus a scant 3 tablespoons (7 ounces) light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup plus 1 teaspoon ( 3/4 ounce) milk powder
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, melted
3/4 cup plus a scant 2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 egg yolks
2 prepared crusts
Powdered sugar, garnish

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer using the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl using an electric mixer, beat the butter, brown sugar and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Whisk the egg into the butter mixture until fully incorporated.
  • With the mixer running, beat in the flour mixture, a little at a time, until fully combined. Stir in the oats until incorporated.
  • Spread the mixture onto a 9-inch-by-13-inch baking sheet and bake until golden brown and set, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and cool to the touch on a rack. Crumble the cooled cookie to use in the crust.
  • Combine the crumbled cookie, butter, brown sugar and salt in a food processor and pulse until evenly combined and blended (a little of the mixture clumped between your fingers should hold together). Divide the crust between 2 (10-inch) pie tins. Press the crust into each shell to form a thin, even layer along the bottom and sides of the tins. Set the prepared crusts aside while you prepare the filling.
  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, brown sugar, salt and milk powder. Whisk in the melted butter, then whisk in the heavy cream and vanilla.
  • Gently whisk in the egg yolks, being careful not to add too much air.
  • Divide the filling evenly between the 2 prepared pie shells.
  • Bake the pies, one at a time, for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 325 degrees and bake until the filling is slightly jiggly and golden brown (similar to a pecan pie), about 10 minutes. Remove the pies and cool on a rack.
  • Refrigerate the cooled pies until well chilled. The pies are meant to be served cold, and the filling will be gooey. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

MOMOFUKU MILK BAR CRACK PIE



Momofuku Milk Bar Crack Pie image

The infamous Milk Bar Crack Pie features a slightly salty, yet sweet oatmeal cookie crust filled with a gooey, buttery filling that leaves you wanting more!

Provided by Michelle

Categories     Dessert

Time 5h30m

Number Of Ingredients 22

½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
⅓ cup light brown sugar
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 egg yolk
½ cup bread flour
1½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
½ teaspoon kosher salt
⅛ teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of baking soda
1 recipe Oat Cookie (above)
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
1½ cups granulated sugar
¾ cup light brown sugar
¼ cup dry milk powder
¼ cup corn powder
1½ teaspoons kosher salt
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
¾ cup heavy cream
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
8 egg yolks

Steps:

  • Make the Oat Cookie: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • Combine the butter and sugars in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and cream together on medium-high speed for 2 to 3 minutes, until fluffy and pale yellow. Scrape the sides of the bowl and, on low speed, at the egg yolk and increase the speed to medium-high and beat for 1 to 2 minutes, until the mixture is pale white.
  • Again, scrape down the sides of the bowl and, on low speed, add the flour, oats, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Mix until the dough comes together and there are no remnants of dry ingredients, about 1 minute.
  • Turn the dough out onto the prepared baking sheet and, using an offset spatula, spread to a ¼-inch thickness (it won't take up the entire sheet). Bake for 15 minutes, or until the middle of the cookie is puffed, but the edges are firmly set. Cool completely before using.
  • Make the Crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C). In a large bowl, break up the oat cookie into small crumbs resembling wet sand. Add the brown sugar and salt and stir to combine. Add the butter and use a rubber spatula to stir and press the mixture against the sides of the bowl until a cohesive mass forms. If the crust is not moist enough to form a cohesive mass, melt an additional 1 to 1½ tablespoons of butter and mix in as before.
  • Divide the oat cookie crust between two pie plates and press firmly into the pie plates, making sure that the bottom and sides are evenly covered. (If not using immediately, the pie shells can be wrapped in plastic wrap and refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.)
  • Make the Pie Filling: Combine the sugar, brown sugar, milk powder, corn powder and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and mix on low speed until evenly blended. Add the melted butter and mix for 2 to 3 minutes, until all of the dry ingredients are moist. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the heavy cream and vanilla, then continue to mix on low speed for 2 to 3 minutes, until no white streaks remain. Add the egg yolks and mix on low speed just long enough to combine, ensuring that the mixture is glossy and homogenous, but do not over mix! (If not using immediately, the filling can be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated for up to 1 week.)
  • Bake the Pie: Place the prepared pie plates on a sheet pan. Divide the filling evenly between the pie crusts; the filling should only fill the plates about ¾ of the way full. Bake for 15 minutes, until the pies are golden brown on top but still very jiggly.
  • Open the oven door and reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F (163 degrees F). Leave the pies in the oven and the oven door open until the temperature reaches 325 degrees F. Once it does, close the oven door and bake for 5 to 10 minutes longer, until the pies are jiggly in the very center, but set around the outer edges.
  • Remove the pies from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool to room temperature. Freeze the pies for at least 3 hours or overnight (this step condenses the filling and is a required step). Transfer the pies from the freezer to the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving. (If not using immediately, the pies can be wrapped in plastic wrap and kept in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month.)
  • Just prior to serving, dust the pie with powdered sugar. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream.

  • Let the pie cool completely before serving: This will help the flavors to develop and the pie to set.
  • Serve the pie with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream: This will help to balance out the sweetness of the pie.
