Baltimore Bomb Pie

Or, what the locals call Bawlmore Bomb Pie. If you were mad at me for posting the Berger Cookie recipe, well now you're really gonna hate me cuz this is essentially a Chess, aka Crack, pie laden with Berger Cookies...

Pillsbury Ready Bake Pie Crust
1 large egg
4 large egg yolks
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2/3 cup heavy whipping cream
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
12 Berger Cookies, chopped

Cook Pillsbury Ready Bake Pie Crust according to the directions and cool completely. Preheat oven to 275°. In a heatproof bowl, whisk the first six ingredients until no yellow streaks remain. Whisk in heavy cream. Scatter in the pieces of butter. Bring 1 inch of water to a simmer in a medium size saucepan. Place heatproof bowl, containing the filling ingredients, over the simmering water. Gently whisk until filling is warm to the touch (butter will probably not be completely melted).

Add in chopped Berger Cookies and whisk gently to combine. Pour filling into pie crust. Bake for 6o minutes. Let cool completely then dig in...

Kindness of Genevieve for saving me a slice til I arrived home Sunday night from NYC. I had to shove it in then cuz today is "backonthewagon" Monday and Tony Horton doesn't allow Bawlmore Bomb Pie on the P90Xhaustion diet. But, Tony's not around on Sundays so the piggy coast was clear...XXOO

  2. I saw this pie on the food porn network and wanted to book a flight to Baltimore asap. Well, now I don't have to. My hips will, indeed, hate you, but my taste buds will be happy!

    Thank you!

  3. Kimba says: Oh my...I saw this on the Food Network with Duff, the cake guy. I'd been meaning to tell you about it for weeks! That looks soooo good and I KNOW it must taste like Heaven! Please advise Genny that I will be there next week, if she's in the mood to do any baking...I will certainly be in the mood to do some devouring!

  5. I think that Dangerously Delicious Pies sells this at the Sunday market in Baltimore. Luckily, I haven't been tempted.

  6. Oh my. Tony Horton. P90X. More like PTSD for me! But his program seriously works. However, that pie is totally cheat-worthy. Looks so yum!

  11. Alice! This looks so delicious. Berger cookies are so unbelievably good, and in a pie... come on that shouldn't be allowed. My girlfriend and I started a food blog at http://bcittastesgood.wordpress.com/

    Please check it out and tell your friends! No desserts up yet, but soon, very soon.

  12. This couldn't make me happier. Or heavier. But I'm with you on using this as Cheat Day and then back to Plyo Tuesdays. Thank you!
