"It’s not surprising the team at New York’s Momofuku Milk Bar has created a crazy version of this minty classic. You can thank chef Christina Tosi for the extravaganza of mint-flavored cheesecake filled with gooey brownies, all nestled into a graham cracker crust. Then this decadent pie gets topped with tiny marshmallows and chocolate chips."
"It's like a chess pie, which plays well here in the South. It sports a crunchy oatmeal cookie crust, a caramel- butterscotch toasted custard filling and it is finished with sea salt. And this is where your dessert high begins: crunchy, soft, sweet and salty assaulting your tastebuds."
