Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and lightly flour a 9-inch pie dish.
In a heatproof bowl set over simmering water, melt the butter and semisweet chocolate chips together until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Whisk in the granulated sugar and light brown sugar to the melted chocolate mixture until combined. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
Stir in vanilla extract, then sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Fold gently to combine, being careful not to overmix.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pie dish. Smooth the top with a spatula and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the center is set. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely in the dish.
For the bourbon custard filling, heat the heavy cream and whole milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat until just steaming. Do not let it boil.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, granulated sugar, and cornstarch until smooth and pale in color.
Temper the egg yolk mixture by slowly adding a ladleful of hot cream into it while whisking constantly. Gradually pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream, stirring continuously.
Cook the custard over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in the bourbon.
Once the brownie layer has completely cooled, pour the warm custard over it, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until the custard is fully set.
Before serving, garnish with dark chocolate shavings and a dollop of whipped cream, if desired. Slice and enjoy!
