HILLY'S ICED COFFEE CRÈME BRÛLÉE PIE
Is there ice in this pie? No. Is there a delicious and unbelievably smooth espresso & cream custard, milky dulce de leche, a spiced cookie crust, and a crackly caramelized brûlée’d top to boot? Yes, absolutely it has all of those things. The flavor of this pie recalls the best iced latte you’ve ever had and tastes way more sophisticated than the ingredient list would suggest.
THE ULTIMATE POUND CAKE
Sure, you’ve had a pound cake. But what about a pound cake with all your sweet and salty cravings? This Ultimate Pound Cake mixes chocolate, butterscotch, oats, ground coffee, graham cracker crumbs and is topped with pretzels and potato chips—all the goodness that goes into our iconic Compost Cookies.
GOOEY CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE
Fancy cakes are cool and all, but nothing beats a hot cake with a handle. Like our iconic Compost Cookie, this mug cake breaks all the rules with mix-it-if-you-got-it ingredients: potato chips, oats, ground coffee, chocolate chips, butterscotch, marshmallows, ritz crackers, pretzels, or any of your favorite snacks hanging out in the pantry.
Milk Bar Strawberry Shortcake Truffles
As Seen on Rachael Ray! Strawberry Shortcake Truffles have all of the flavors of springtime rolled into one delicious bite - buttery vanilla cake, sweet strawberry buttermilk soak, a smooth white chocolate coating, and crunchy rich shortcake crumbs to top it off. Sounds like a fun afternoon project for all.
COMPOST COOKIE®
From Tosi: Compost Cookies® always turn out great in my mother’s kitchen because she infamously has a hodgepodge of mix-ins, none in great enough quantity to make an actual single-flavored cookie on its own. My brother-in-law calls them “garbage cookies”; others call them “kitchen sink cookies.” Call them what you want, and make them as we make them at Milk Bar, or add your own favorite snacks to the cookie base in place of ours.
Birthday Cake
We took the best parts of childhood, removed all of the awkwardness and added heaps of made-from-scratch birthday cake and frosting (inspired by the boxed supermarket stuff we grew up with). Meet Milk Bar’s B’day Cake, packed with b’day crumbs in the middle, even more on top and dreamy vanilla vibes throughout.
B'Day Truffles
From Tosi: My favorite offering at Milk Bar is our cake truffles, spawned entirely from leftover bits and pieces of cake! You can choose to follow the recipe, or get crazy, without our guidance, using leftovers to concoct your own. Don’t limit yourself to birthday cake; you can use any cake scrap and any leftover fillings, crumbs, or crunches from your kitchen!
STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE CAKE
Our limited-time-only Strawberry Shortcake Cake is all about the flavors of springtime — buttery vanilla cake and whipped cream frosting with a brilliant punch of strawberry jam (not to mention a throwback to one of Tosi's earliest claims to dessert fame). Try your hand at the recipe!
CHOCOLATE PRETZEL CEREAL SQUARES
The beauty of this recipe: freestyle however you'd like! Use your fave cereal and mix-ins, or whatever you have in the pantry. This simple yet satisfying recipe requires no baking, and is the perfect (kid friendly!) activity if you want a dessert fix, without the fuss.
