1. The Legendary Milk Bar Pie
Where Tradition Meets Innovation
At the heart of Milk Bar's menu is the iconic Milk Bar Pie. This dessert, formerly known as "Crack Pie," is a testament to the magic of simple ingredients - butter, eggs, and sugar, transformed into a caramelized, chewy filling nestled in a hearty oat cookie crust. It's a classic, with a twist that speaks to both traditionalists and adventurers alike.
2. Compost Cookies®: A Symphony of Flavors
Every Bite, A New Discovery
The Compost Cookie® is a delightful paradox, combining ingredients that shouldn't work together, yet miraculously do. With a mix of pretzels, potato chips, coffee, oats, graham crackers, and chocolate chips, these cookies are a microcosm of Milk Bar's daring culinary philosophy. Each bite is a journey through contrasting textures and flavors, making it a must-try for any dessert aficionado.

4. Cereal Milk™ Ice Cream: A Chilled Throwback
The Essence of Breakfast, Reimagined
Cereal Milk™ Ice Cream is a genius creation, capturing the essence of the milk at the bottom of a breakfast cereal bowl. This ice cream flavor is both comforting and innovative, offering a taste that is simultaneously familiar and novel. It's a testament to Milk Bar's ability to transform the mundane into the extraordinary.
