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.

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. While you prepare the filling. 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 making filling. 1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. 2. 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. 3. Gently whisk in the egg yolks, being careful not to add too much air. 4. Divide the filling evenly between the 2 prepared pie shells. 5. 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. 6. 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.

CRACK PIE



Crack Pie image

Whoa, this crack pie recipe is definitely addictive (and delicious!). With a creamy middle, it's super sweet and tastes like a brown sugar custard pie. The top forms a crust that we loved. We can see why Judy chose to use a regular pie crust instead of an oatmeal one. It really does help to cut down on the sweetness. Pour...

Categories     Pies

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 regular pie crust (not deep dish unless you want the pie thin)
3/4 c granulated sugar
1/2 c light brown sugar (I used dark)
2 Tbsp non-fat dry powered milk
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 c melted butter, slightly cooled
6 1/2 Tbsp heavy cream
4 egg yolks
1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 Tbsp corn flour (not corn meal or cornstarch)
confectioners' sugar for sprinkling

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven 375 degrees. First, lay parchment paper in the bottom of pie crust and fill with pinto beans. Bake pie crust for about 15 minutes then remove form oven. Set aside. Reduce oven temperature to 350.
  • 2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk sugar, powdered milk, salt, and corn flour. (You will find corn flour at the grocery store. I bought freeze-dried corn at Whole Food and blended it in a blender until powdery).
  • 3. Add melted butter, and whisk (not too much) until blended. Add cream, eggs yolks and vanilla and whisk until cream is just blended in. DO NOT WHISK TOO MUCH because we don't want a lot of air to get in the mixture which will prevent the pie from being gooey and that is what the pie is all about.
  • 4. Pour filling into crust. Bake pie 30 minutes, reduce oven temp to 325 and continue for 20 minutes or until pie filling is brown on top (mine bakes perfectly for 50 minutes but keep baking until top of pie is brown then it's ready to take out).
  • 5. Cool about 10 minutes then sprinkle powdered sugar on top. Let cool several hours before cutting. ENJOY!
