Instructions:

1. Prepare the Egg Mixture:

Separate the egg yolks and place them in a mixing bowl.
Beat the egg yolks until they turn a light yellow color.
Gradually add 3/4 cup of sugar while continuing to beat the yolks.

2. Dissolve Gelatin:

In a small bowl, dissolve the gelatin in 1/4 cup of hot water.
Ensure the gelatin is completely dissolved and then add it to the egg mixture.

3. Add Bourbon:

Carefully pour 1/3 cup of Bourbon into the egg and gelatin mixture.
Continue beating the mixture to incorporate the Bourbon fully.

4. Prepare the Whipping Cream:

In a separate bowl, beat the whipping cream until it reaches a stiff peak consistency.
This should yield approximately 2 cups of whipped cream.

5. Combine and Chill:

Gently fold the whipped cream into the egg and Bourbon mixture.
Once fully combined, pour the mixture into the baked pie shell.
Optionally, sprinkle the top of the pie with nutmeg for added flavor.
Place the pie in the refrigerator and let it set for a minimum of 6 hours.

6. Serve and Enjoy:

Cut into thin slices and serve to delighted guests or indulge in a slice yourself.

Tips:

Ensure the gelatin mixture is still warm when adding it to the egg mixture to prevent clumping.

Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra indulgent touch.
