Milk Bar, the bakery branch of David Chang’s Momofuku, focuses on home-style desserts. These sinful but oh-so-good sweets are made fresh daily and shipped in from Brooklyn. Crack Pie is the most delicious and greatest culprit — after one bite, you’ll understand the name! You just have to have more. A full 764 g pie comes in at 3,708 calories, with a whopping 223.2 grams of fat. Make it a very special treat!
ROSE’S HEALTHY TAKE: PECAN CREAM CHEESE PIE
I have a great pie that features a gooey pecan tart filling with a creamy cheesecake layer. Pecans are a good source of protein and healthy polyunsaturated fats, but nuts are high in calories and fat, so eat them in moderation. Process the cheesecake batter well to make it as smooth as possible.
