Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
Oatmeal Cookie
- 7 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ¼ cup packed brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- ¾ cups old fashioned oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ⅛ teaspoon baking powder
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 1 pinch baking soda
Crust
- 1 oatmeal cookie recipe, above
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Filling
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons nonfat dry milk powder
- ¾ cups unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 6 large egg yolks
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
Oatmeal Cookie
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the butter, brown sugar, and sugar to a large bowl and beat with a hand mixer or with a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium-high speed for 1-2 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and beat until combined. Add the oats, flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda and mix until combined.
- Spread the cookie dough on the prepared baking sheet until it is a large rectangle that is ¼-inch thick.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, until the edges are darker brown and the top of the entire cookie is lightly golden brown. Let it cool completely.
Crust
- Break the cooled oatmeal cookie into pieces, put it in a blender or food processor, and pulse until it is turned to fine crumbs. I found it easier to do this in 3-4 sections rather than all at once.
- Add the cookie crumbs to a medium bowl. Add the brown sugar and butter. Mix until all the crumbs are moistened and the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Use your fingers or measuring cup to press the crust evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Set aside.
Filling
- Add the sugar, brown sugar, and milk powder to a large bowl and whisk until combined.
- Add the butter and use a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment to beat it until combined.
- Add the cream and vanilla and mix until combined. Beat in the egg yolks until fully combined.
- Add the filling to the crust and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes. Lower the heat to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and finish baking the pie for 20-22 minutes, until the edges have set but the center still has a little wobble to it.
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Then, chill it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours before serving. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
