Good Morning & Happy Thursday y’all!
Welcome to another junk food review… So, I’m sure a lot of y’all have heard of the Momofuku Milk Bar in New York. They’re known for their really unique and fun dessert creations. I have had their cookbook for years and to be honest, their stuff seems so complex and with soo many steps and ingredients, I said a big no thank you to actually making anything out of it. So anyways, when I saw that their super famous Crack Pie was one of their creations available for delivery via Goldbely, I obviously jumped at the opportunity to order it. Don’t worry this isn’t an endorsement for Goldbely, I paid for the very expensive pie and ridiculously expensive delivery with my very own money dollars haha.
Not exactly the most beautiful pie I’ve ever seen, but I’m optimistic…
I gosh, I don’t think I’ve ever wanted to like a pie so much, bbuuuttt, unfortunately, the first word that came to mind to describe this pie was, disappointing. Maybe, if it hadn’t cost so much, or all that I had heard was how incredible this pie was, it might be different..but seriously y’all this pie was a major disappointment. First off, the pie is really, really thin and I like thick pies, I cannot lie but my first thought on the flavor was that it tasted like a less rich and decadent Ooey Gooey Butter Cake (which I just realized I’ve never done a post on) but with a really crumbly crust. Don’t get me wrong, the pie tasted good, but I could have saved myself time and money and just made some homemade butter cake, which calls for about 1/100 of the ingredients, more than 1/2 the time and is much, much richer. So basically, save yourself the money and just make some butter cake at home, the crust is better, it makes more, and is eye rollingly good. This pie gets a 5 out of 10 and a 2 out of 10 rating for the cost.
