Bourbon S’mores Pie

The Crust:
1/2 cups Graham cracker crumbs
2 Tbsp Sugar
1 Egg white, beaten
2 Tbsp Butter, melted

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. In a small bowl, combine cracker crumbs and sugar, stir in egg white and butter.
  3. Press onto bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate coated with cooking spray.
  4. Bake 6-8 minutes or until set. Cool completely on a wire rack.

The Filling:
9 oz High-quality semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
1 1/2 Whole milk
1 cup Heavy cream
6 Egg yolks, large
5 Tbsp Granulated sugar (add an extra tablespoon if using bitter chocolate)
1/4 tsp Salt
1 Tbsp Bourbon

  1. Place the chocolate in a blender.
  2. Whisk the milk, cream, egg yolks, granulated sugar, bourbon and salt in a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly with a heatproof spatula until the mixture is thick enough to coat the spatula and almost boiling (5-6 minutes).
  3. Immediately pour the milk mixture over the chocolate in the blender.Cover and hold lid with a think kitchen towel. Blend until combined and smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides of the blender as needed.
  4. Pour the chocolate mixture into the graham cracker pie crust and refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.
