Important Ingredients You Will Need to Make Crack Pie (Copycat Milk Bar Recipe)

- Milk Powder- Milk powder is the same as powdered milk. You can find this in the same area as the evaporated milk.
How to Make Crack Pie
Step 1- Wet Ingredients.
Set the oven to 350 degrees and set the rack in the oven to the middle position. Use parchment paper to line a baking sheet. Add the 6 tablespoons of butter, brown and white sugars to a standing mixer and combine at medium speed.
Allow it to blend for 3 minutes until light and fluffy, then pour in the eggs and vanilla and combine for an additional 2 minutes.
Step 2- Dry Ingredients.
Turn the speed to low and add in the rolled oats, flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda and combine while using a spatula to scrape the mixing bowl and combine.
Step 3- Baking.
Use a rolling pin to make the dough 1/4 inch thick and set it on a baking pan and it does not have to fill the pan because it will be broken up later. Place the pan into the oven and bake for 15 minutes until light brown. Take out of the pan and transfer to a cooling rack.
Filling
Step 1-Dry Ingredients.
Add the white sugar, brown sugar, milk powder, and salt into a standing mixer with a paddle attachment and combine at low speed.
Step 2- Wet Ingredients.
Pour in the melted butter and combine until the ingredients are coated. Add in the heavy cream and vanilla and combine for 2-3 minutes until fully incorporated. Add in the eggs while the mixer keeps mixing and combining for about 3 minutes until it’s glossy. Then, set it aside.
Assembling
Step 1- Cookie Crumble.
In a food processor, break up the cookie until you have crumbs, then pour in 2 tbsp of melted butter and coat until fully incorporated.
Put the cookie crumbs into the prepared pan (9 to 10-inch glass pie dish) and cover the bottom and go up the sides.
Set the pie dish onto a baking sheet and add the filling on top and smooth out with a spatula.
Step 2- Baking
Set the pie dish on the center rack and bake for 15 minutes at 325 degrees until the pie is browned on top with a slight jiggle. (if too jiggly, bake for an additional 5 minutes) Take out of the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool for about 30 minutes. Cover the pie with foil and set it in the freezer for 2 hours or overnight for the best results.
Step 3- Serving.
Transfer the pie from the freezer to the fridge 1 hour before serving.
