Instructions:

Prepare Brownie Base:
- Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the brownie mix package.
- Follow the instructions on the brownie mix package to prepare the batter.
- Grease two pie tins and pour the brownie batter into the bottoms of both tins.
- Bake the brownie crusts for the recommended time, but remove them a few minutes before they are fully cooked. Set aside to cool.
-
Prepare Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks until they are thick and have a lemon-colored hue.
- Gradually add the sugar to the beaten egg yolks, continuing to beat until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, soften the gelatin by sprinkling it over cold water. Add 1/3 of the bourbon to the gelatin mixture and let it sit for a few minutes.
- Place the gelatin mixture over a pot of boiling water, stirring until the gelatin completely dissolves.
- Slowly pour the dissolved gelatin mixture into the beaten egg yolks, stirring briskly to combine.
- Gradually add the remaining bourbon to the mixture, stirring continuously.
-
Prepare Cream Mixture:
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the bourbon mixture until fully incorporated.
-
Assemble the Pie:
- Pour the bourbon and cream filling into the cooled brownie crusts, distributing it evenly between the two pie tins.
- Place the pies in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, allowing the filling to set.
-
Finish and Serve:
- Before serving, whip the remaining cream with a pinch of salt and sugar to taste until stiff peaks form.
- Spread the whipped cream over the chilled pies, covering the entire surface.
- For a final touch, sprinkle shaved chocolate over the whipped cream topping.
- Slice and serve your Brownie Bottom Bourbon Pie, savoring each luxurious bite.
