Momofuku Crack Pie Recipe

After a recent French Macaron Order, I was left with 10 (count them, TEN) egg yolks. [Get a glimpse of what I made here.]  I normally try to use them in in a delectable French Buttercream or delicious Japanese style pudding (aka Flan) but neither recipes would use up anywhere near 10 yolks (unless I made double or triple batches!!).  So after a quick Google search, I came upon the Momofuku Crack Pie.  Never having been to the Momofuku Milk Bar in which the pie originates but I've had a friends version one Thanksgiving - and remember going back for seconds.  Who are we kidding - it was thirds...  They don't call it Crack Pie for nothing!

Make no mistake, this is not quick bake by any means.  AND.... This is about as healthy as deep fried butter rolled in bacon bits and topped with Vanilla Ice Cream.  BUT oh man, is it delicious. The Momofuku Crack Pie seems to be on the same wavelength as Chess Pie - on crack.  [pun intended!]  So save yourself the $50 or so and spend a few hours making your own.

Look at that ooey gooey goodness on the inside!  An entire GIANT oatmeal cookie as the crust, lots of brown sugar and butter = total awesomeness.  Oh, did I mention the recipe makes TWO pies?  One to keep and one as gift - be the office hero.  They will be begging for more.  Promise.
