Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups oat cookie crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup milk powder
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • Powdered sugar for topping

Instructions
 

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a pie dish.
  • 2. Combine the oat cookie crumbs, melted butter, and brown sugar in a bowl until the texture resembles wet sand.
  • 3. Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of the pie dish.
  • 4. Bake the crust until lightly golden and fragrant, then allow it to cool slightly.
  • 5. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, milk powder, cornstarch, and salt.
  • 6. Add the melted butter and whisk until smooth and glossy.
  • 7. Slowly whisk in the heavy cream and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  • 8. Add the egg yolks one at a time, mixing gently after each addition.
  • 9. Pour the filling into the prepared crust and smooth the top evenly.
  • 10. Bake until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly.
  • 11. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature.
  • 12. Refrigerate the pie for several hours or overnight until fully set.
  • 13. Dust the top generously with powdered sugar before serving.
  • 14. Slice and serve chilled or slightly softened at room temperature.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother and creamier filling texture.
Do not overbake the pie because the center continues setting as it cools and chills.
For the best flavor and texture, refrigerate the pie overnight before serving.
