The Picnic Burwood's OTT New Bake-at-Home Cookie Pie Is the Dessert of Your Childhood Dreams

If staying at home more often than usual has you hankering for decadent desserts, you're not alone. We've seen many Australians turn to baking while in iso, plus restaurants and cafes across the country offer up ready-to-bake cookie dough. Not to mention cult ice creamery Gelato Messina selling red velvet cookie pies. Now, Burwood cafe The Picnic is grabbing a piece of the pie, too, collaborating with OTT delivery dessert company Cake Mail and Chef Jack New (Icebergs, Teramoto by Kuro) to create the mother of all pie-sized biscuits.

What's a cookie pie? It's pretty much as it sounds — a pie, but a pie made of cookie dough. You bake it yourself, too, so you get to enjoy that oh-so-amazing smell of freshly baked cookies wafting through your kitchen.

The OTT dessert in question is a white choc chip and salted caramel cookie pie ($39), which comes loaded with Nutella, Oreos, marshmallows, Kinder chocolate and white Kinder Bueno. Once it arrives at your house, you just need to throw it in the oven for ten minutes at 150°C. The result: a messy, gooey delight that's sure to satisfy any hardcore chocolate fiend.

Since indoor venues across the country were forced to shut up shop back in March, The Picnic at Burwood, run by restaurateur Jad Nehme, has been whipping up a bunch of dishes for home delivery — from 'Zoom night' packs to DIY burger kits, produce boxes and Lotus Biscoff caramel pancakes.

Deliver is available for all orders over $60 within 15 kilometres of Burwood from 2–6pm on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Contactless pick up is also available from the cafe between 11.30am–2pm on Monday, Wednesday and Friday

The Picnic at Home take-home menu and cookie pie is available to order via thepicnicathome.com.au.
