"Anyone who has taken a bite of Milk Bar's best selling crack pie immediately knows the reason for the sassy name. This rich, salty-sweet pie recipe has an irresistible oat cookie crust."

Deidre Schipani

"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."

Marcia Gagliardi

"It sounds simple: “toasted oat crust, gooey butter filling,” but the buttery oat cookie crust hits the perfect note of salt and the chess pie–like filling is all silky-sweet, a combination so good that it basically gets everyone cracked out on it."

New York Magazine

"To put an end to this mayhem, the folks at Momofuku Milk Bar have given the treasured southern confection a nice new name: “crack pie.” Whatever you think of that, the supersweet Momo version is awfully addictive, although, in the manner of a cheeseless cheese pie, crackless."

Rina Rapuano

"Tosi's signature Crack Pie was definitely one of the favorites among what we tasted. The sweet slice features a toasted-oat crust and a filling that evokes a chess pie."

Daniela Galarza

"Christina Tosi of NYC's Milk Bar popularized chess pie in the North when she released her version: The now-trademarked Crack pie. The butterscotch overtones of Tosi's chess pie draw lines and have buoyed her business from one tiny shop to four."

Morgan Olsen

"Hailing from New York, this little slice of heaven is a delightful spin on chess pie with a toasted oat cookie crust filled with a melt-in-your-mouth brown sugar-butter custard that would make Paula Deen proud."

Stephanie Roze Arnold

"If cakes are not your thing Tosi also does pie like the ridiculous Crack Pie dusted with powdered sugar (just like a classic Chess pie from the South)."
