This Milky Way Pie is out of this world!

Let’s get started with the Milky Way Pie Recipe. This recipe is perfect for any dessert lover who enjoys a gooey, caramel-chocolate combo with a slight crunch. It’s incredibly easy to make and requires minimal baking time.

Ingredients

Before anything else, let’s gather all the ingredients that we’ll need to create this rich and indulgent pie.

2 prepared graham cracker crusts
8 oz. Cool Whip
1/4 cup salted butter, melted
1/4 cup margarine, melted
1 can (14 oz.) sweetened condensed milk
8 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
6 Milky Way candy bars, chopped into small pieces
2 cups granulated sugar
1 stick unsalted butter, melted
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp milk powder

Making the Pie

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F.
In a large bowl, beat two eggs until frothy.
To the beaten eggs, add the can of Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk and beat again until thoroughly combined.
Add in one stick of melted unsalted butter and continue beating until smooth.
Stir in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and milk powder.
Pour in the chopped Milky Way candy bars and mix to combine all ingredients evenly.
Pour the mixture into a pie shell or into two prepared graham cracker crusts if you want more servings.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes then reduce to 350 degrees F and bake for another 20 minutes or until center is set.
Let cool on a wire rack for at least an hour before serving.

Decorating the Pie

Once it’s cooled down completely, spread a layer of Cool Whip over the top of your pie.
Drizzle caramel sauce over the whipped cream generously to add another layer of sweetness and flavor.
Add Milky Way bars on top of the caramel sauce by thinly slicing them first (fun size works great!). Then sprinkle some nuts like almonds or crushed walnuts on top( optional).
Another option is to use some whipped topping instead of Cool Whip and sprinkling chopped Milky Way Bars on top of it.

Now you have your very own Milky Way Pie ready to serve! This dessert goes perfectly with some vanilla ice cream or simply enjoy as it is – either way, it will be sure to satisfy your sweet cravings in one delicious bite.

Variety is the spice of life, and that’s especially true when it comes to Milky Way Pie. While the classic recipe is delicious, there are many ways to change it up and make it your own. Here are some substitutions and variations you can try:

– Crust: If you don’t have a pre-prepared graham cracker crust, you can easily make one by grinding up graham crackers in a food processor and mixing with melted butter and sugar. You can also use a chocolate or Oreo cookie crust for a different flavor profile.

– Filling: For a richer version of the pie filling, use cream cheese at room temperature instead of whipped topping. You can also add more Milky Way candy bars for an extra boost of chocolatey goodness.

– Topping: Instead of just whipped topping, try adding a layer of caramel sauce or a sprinkle of chopped nuts on top. This adds another dimension to the flavor profile and adds some texture too.

– Brownie Layer: For a unique twist on this recipe, try adding a brownie layer to the pie crust before pouring the Milky Way filling on top. This will give it an entirely new taste with added texture.

– No-bake Option: Feeling lazy? You can make this into a no-bake dessert by using a chocolate graham cracker crust and topping it with an easy Milky Way cheesecake mixture that doesn’t require any baking. Simply mix together cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, melted Milky Way candy bars, and whipped topping then spoon over the crust and chill.

With these substitutions and variations, the possibilities for this delicious dessert are endless! Get creative and make it your own signature dish for any occasion, whether it’s game day or simply as an impressive end note to any meal.

Serving and Pairing

Perfect for a cozy night in or a potluck with friends.

Now that your Milky Way Pie is ready, it’s time to indulge in a slice of this scrumptious dessert. This pie is already a star on its own, but pairing it with the right beverage can enhance the flavors further.

For a classic pairing, pair this Milky Way Pie with a piping hot cup of coffee or a cold glass of milk. These beverages complement the sweetness of the pie and bring out its flavors.

If you want to add some excitement to your dessert course, try serving this Milky Way Pie with a scoop of your favorite ice cream. The creamy texture and cool temperature of the ice cream balance out the richness of the pie.

For wine aficionados, pair this milky way pie with an after-dinner drink like sherry or port. These fortified wines match the intensity of the pie and provide a perfect ending to a meal.

Alternatively, you can play around with different variations and toppings for your Milky Way Pie to create your unique twist on this classic dessert. Try drizzling caramel sauce over your slice or topping it off with whipped cream and chopped nuts.

The Milky Way Pie is versatile enough to be served on any occasion – from casual family dinners to formal gatherings. No matter how you serve it, this dessert is sure to impress and leave everyone wanting more.

Make-Ahead, Storing and Reheating

Pro tip: serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

If you plan to make Milky Way Pie ahead of time, it is recommended to store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Keep in mind that the Cool Whip may slightly deflate over time, but the overall taste and texture should still be delicious.

When reheating slices of Milky Way Pie, I recommend heating them for no more than 10-15 seconds in the microwave. This will help to retain the creamy consistency of the pie filling without making it too runny. Additionally, you can reheat slices in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes until heated through.

For those who prefer their pie chilled, simply remove it from the refrigerator and enjoy. If you’re in the mood for a frozen treat, try placing a slice of Milky Way Pie in the freezer for an hour or two until it firms up like an ice cream pie. This dessert is perfect for hot summer days when you need a cool and refreshing treat.

If you have leftover ingredients such as crushed Milky Way candy bars or Cool Whip, use them to top ice cream, pancakes or waffles. These versatile ingredients can easily elevate any dessert.

In conclusion, Milky Way Pie can be made ahead of time and stored safely in the fridge for a few days. When ready to eat, gently reheat slices in the microwave or oven.

Tips for Perfect Results

Chocolate lovers, this is the pie for you!

One of the things I love about Milky Way Pie is that it’s not only delicious but also very easy to make. However, there are a few tips that can make this pie even better.

First, use room temperature cream cheese when preparing the filling. This will ensure that your filling is smooth and creamy.

Second, when making the crust, be sure to press firmly so that it sticks together well. If the crust isn’t compact enough, it may crumble when cutting the pie.

Third, if you’re using store-bought Cool Whip instead of whipped cream, be sure to thaw it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours before starting the recipe. This will prevent any lumps from forming in the whipped cream.

Fourth, if you want to add a layer of caramel sauce to your pie, drizzle it over the top and then use a knife or toothpick to swirl it into the filling.

Fifth, if you want to make an even more indulgent version of this pie, try adding a layer of Milky Way Brownie on the bottom instead of using a graham cracker crust.

Lastly, don’t forget to let your pie cool completely before slicing into it. This will ensure that each slice stays together and doesn’t fall apart when serving.

Follow these tips and enjoy a perfectly delicious Milky Way Pie every time!
