Pie Junkie
Pie Junkie is a neat little bakery located in Oklahoma City’s Plaza District. It’s surrounded by numerous other shops and eateries with lots going on in a small area. You’re bound to discover something for the whole family or friend group to enjoy there. Pie Junkie has plenty to offer and has a rotating list of fresh goodies to choose from. I decided on two kinds of pies that caught my eye. Here’s what I thought about them:
Peanut butter chocolate-7.8. For me, I prefer a lighter, creamier pie. This pie is super rich and although delicious, not necessarily my style. I scored it higher than I probably would for myself because I feel like other people will enjoy this pie more than I did. Definitely a shareable dessert even for 2,3,4 people if you’re just taking a couple bites, which seemed perfect for me. My dad would love this pie because of how rich it is.
French silk-7.6. For some reason it bothers me when someone calls a pie French silk and it doesn’t have any shaved chocolate on top. Mini chocolate chips on top should downgrade the title to a simple chocolate cream pie. And simple does not mean less delicious. I need to find out what kind of chocolate chips they use because I think they were maybe dark chocolate. For me, that made the pie less enjoyable. I guess if they’re trying to add some contrast so as it’s not just a sweet pie I get it. But for me, I’d rather have milk chocolate chocolate chips or no chocolate chips. My great grandma used to make the best chocolate pie I’ve ever eaten still to this day and she didn’t even add any whipped cream or chocolate chips or shaved chocolate on top. The chocolate filling spoke for itself and stood out more than enough to keep me reminiscing about it 20 years later. That will be a recipe that I’ll look to recreate in the near future.
Nevertheless, I definitely recommend trying out Pie Junkie. With so much to choose from, I will no doubt be making another trip soon to discover even more of the deliciousness that they have to offer. 1711 NW 16th St, Oklahoma City, OK 73106
