christina tosi is my hero

We made "crack pie" an invention from the Momfuku Milk Bar restaurant


First you make a cookie batter

Which becomes the crust, like a graham cracker crust

the inside is like to gooey part of a pecan pie.


it's super rich, and definitely need to eat with a glass of milk.

Baking Saturday

Spent some time today baking to bring some treats to my niece's birthday party tomorrow

I made these turtle brownies from scratch, using a recipe from Cook's Illustrated














here's a mix of butter, unsweetened and bittersweet chocolates

I made caramel from scratch, and it was in a middle layer in the brownie mix, as well as swirled into the top layer.  then another layer of caramel at the end to give it a polished top. 




I also baked these, they are Bouchon chocolate corks, but it was a little bit of a cheat, because they are from a mix purchased from Williams Sonoma. 
I've had the silicone mold for almost a year, and haven't been able to get my act together enough to make the batter from scratch. They are tasty, and I am motivated to make them from scratch in the future!
