I have never really considered pie, and particularly craic pie, something in my usual baking rotation. I love baking pies, but they feel more like event bakes. Like I need an occasion to make them. But when I was asking my brother if he had any ideas for how to use Peanut Nutella, he suggested…
Oreo Pudding Craic Pie
I think people frequently think that I don’t like ideas for my baking. So many times I ask people what they want or if they have any requests, and they just say “oh, whatever you can come up with.” I can come up with things all day, but sometimes I don’t want to! And sometimes…
Thin Mint Craic Pie
Shortly after I started working at Milk Bar, they changed the name of their trademark pie from “Crack Pie” to “Milk Bar Pie.” It was called “Crack Pie” because apparently when Christina Tosi first made it, it was such a hit with her coworkers that one said, “you’ve got to take this away from me,…
Peanut Butter Milk Bar Pie Bars
I’ve had the idea for these Peanut Butter Milk Bar Pie Bars written down for a while, ever since I was brainstorming ideas for State Fair bakes. This one could have fit in the “layered bars, no lemon” category, but I went with something else (which was also delicious). But I still wanted to make…
Milk Bar Pie Cookies
I was flipping through the All About Cake cookbook recently, and I stumbled across a recipe for Milk Bar Pie frosting. I immediately thought, “say less.” How had I not found this before?? So when my brother asked me to make “anything” for a party he was going to, I made some of the frosting…
Peanut Butter Milk Bar Pie (Happy Pi Day!)
My first memories of pi day are, unfortunately, not great. It was one of the many times during my childhood education where learning the concept of something did not exactly pan out in practice. It’s up there with the time I was told we’d be doing an experiment where we “make clouds” inside of 2-liter…
Speculoos Milk Bar Pie
Well well well… After a (personal) record-breaking 78 posts in 2024, I’ve taken a whole week to post in 2025! But fear not, I aim to keep posting just as much in this new year. My goal for last year was to post 52 times (once a week), which I managed to surpass considerably. And…
Chocolate Milk Bar Pie
Recently, Milk Bar announced they were selling a Chocolate Milk Bar Pie at their flagship stores. To which I said… yes please. However, since I don’t live near a flagship, I had to try and make it on my own! I haven’t made a milk bar pie in a while, and they’re always spectacular. Making…
