Get the Dreamy Chocolate Pie Recipe from Waitress the Musical's 'Official Pie Consultant' (Yes, That's a Job)

Creating a show about a waitress with talent for baking pies requires someone with real knowledge on the dessert. Enter Stacy Donnelly, the official pie consultant for the Broadway musical Waitress.

Donnelly, the founder of Cute As Cake in New York City, was brought on to create 21 original pie recipes for the show starring Jenna (Jessie Mueller), a pregnant woman who finds relief from her unhappy marriage when she decides to compete in a baking contest. To put on an authentic experience, Donnelly and her team go through about 50 dozen eggs, 75 lbs. of sugar, 40 lbs. of butter and 30 lbs. of flour every week.

“We’ve had a great creative team on the show and they just wanted to make the show as realistic as possible,” she tells PEOPLE Now. “We actually bake an apple pie in the lobby. We have a convection oven hidden in the back so you can’t see it, and we have an apple baking the whole time.”

If the strong cinnamon smell gets the audience’s stomachs rumbling, Donnelly even sells pie jars in the lobby of the Brooks Atkinson Theatre based off the desserts on stage. She averages about 1,400 to 1,500 sold each week.

But if you can’t get to Broadway, the baker shared Jenna’s Devil’s Food Chocolate Oasis Pie exclusively with PEOPLE. Even if you’re not a pie lover, the addition of a moist Oreo crust and fresh strawberries is enough to convert any hater. Now take a slice and dig in!
