Cowboy Pie Milkshake

Although some would argue that the only thing better than a warm slice of pie is a warm slice à la mode, New York City’s Hill Country Chicken takes it one step further with the Cowboy Pie Milkshake. This two-in-one confection begins with a mini version of the restaurant’s signature Cowboy Pie: a mixture of coconut flakes, butterscotch chips, dark chocolate chips, pecans, and condensed milk baked inside a crunchy graham cracker crust. The pie is then blended with vanilla ice cream and milk, resulting in a dessert so rich, thick, and creamy, it’s a real spoon-bender.
