Brown Sugar Bourbon Pie
Brown Sugar Bourbon Icebox Pie ~ lots of pillowy whipped bourbon mousse piled into a dark chocolate crumb crust and topped with more dark chocolate ~ this grownups-only treat might just be the ultimate no bake dessert.
Servings: 8 -10 servings
Ingredients
crumb crust
- 3/4 of a package of Nabisco Famous Wafers (If you're using pre-made crumbs, it will be 1 1/2 cups of crumbs)
- 5 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
filling
- 3.4 ounce package Jello Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix. Note: be sure to get the instant, not the cook and serve, style
- 1 1/2 cup cold heavy cream, divided
- 1/2 cup bourbon
- 4 Tbsp dark brown sugar
garnish
- dark chocolate curls
Instructions
- Lightly spray a 9 inch pie dish.
- Crush the wafers in a food processor or with a rolling pin. Make sure to get them nice and fine.
- Measure out 1 and 1/2 cups of crumbs, and toss with the melted butter until well blended. Press the crumbs evenly into the 9 pie plate, I like to use the bottom of a metal cup measure to help me get them evenly and firmly patted down. Refrigerate.
- Whip 1 cup of the cream and set aside.
- Blend the bourbon and brown sugar together, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. You may want to let it sit for a few minutes. Then blend that into the remaining half cup of cream.
- Whisk the pudding mix with the bourbon infused cream. Whisk for 2 minutes to allow it to thicken. Fold in the whipped cream until no streaks remain. You can gently whisk the mixture if that helps.
- Pour the filling into the crust and smooth out the top if necessary. Refrigerate for 6 hours, or overnight, before serving.
- Garnish with chocolate shavings or curls.
Notes
- Keep the pie chilled when not serving.
- I worked on this recipe a few times before getting it just the way I liked it, but it's possible the bourbon will be too strong for you, and if it is, feel free to reduce it.
-
- Cut down the calories in the recipe by using whole milk for the non-whipped portion of the cream.
