Ingredients

• 170 grams Unsalted butter
• 180 grams Semisweet chocolate chips
• 200 grams Granulated sugar
• 100 grams Light brown sugar
• 3 pieces Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
• 120 grams All-purpose flour
• 30 grams Cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 240 milliliters Heavy cream
• 120 milliliters Whole milk
• 4 pieces Egg yolks
• 100 grams Granulated sugar (for filling)
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 60 milliliters Bourbon
• 0 Dark chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
• 0 Whipped cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and lightly flour a 9-inch pie dish.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Stir in vanilla extract, then sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Fold gently to combine, being careful not to overmix.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, granulated sugar, and cornstarch until smooth and pale in color.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

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.

Step 11

Before serving, garnish with dark chocolate shavings and a dollop of whipped cream, if desired. Slice and enjoy!
