Pi day-Crack Pie

In honor of Pi day my dear friend held a pie party. What a fabulous idea for a party. Every family that comes brings a pie, sweet or savory. The scene when we walked in was treacherous even to the non-dieter. Imagine a large dining room table covered with pies. Evil...... but in a good way.

Baking is my true passion I I love a chance to try something new. So when I read about Momofuku's $44 Crack pie a few months back, I stored it in my recipe binder, waiting for the right event. What better event than Pi day.

Is it worth $44? I'd say no, but perhaps $30 on a good day. Those New Yorkers always have money to burn on tasty treats, so I hear. I warn you, the recipe makes 2 pies. I froze the other. Need to diet for a week before eating another slice. It's a slice of heaven. Darn near crack, if I knew what that was like.
