Chocolate, Stout And Bourbon Pie
A rich, decadent pie combining dark chocolate, stout, and bourbon flavors, perfect for dessert lovers seeking a bold, boozy treat with a moist, fudgy texture.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Stir together the brown sugar, flour, and cornmeal.
- Beat eggs with granulated sugar until thick and light in color.
- Add vanilla, stout, and bourbon to the brown sugar mixture, stirring to eliminate lumps.
- Fold in the beaten egg mixture and chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the unbaked pie crust.
- Bake at 350°F for 40 to 45 minutes or until the center is set.
- Cool just until warm and serve with a dollop of whipped cream.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, use high-quality bourbon and stout. If you prefer a less sweet pie, reduce the granulated sugar slightly. You can substitute half of the granulated sugar with coconut sugar for a unique twist. Ensure the chocolate chips are evenly distributed for a consistent chocolate flavor in every bite. If you’re short on time, use a store-bought pie crust instead of making your own.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this decadent pie warm, topped with a generous dollop of whipped cream. It pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgence. Enjoy it with a cup of coffee or a glass of dessert wine to complement the rich flavors. For a festive touch, consider garnishing with chocolate shavings or a sprinkle of sea salt.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, place slices in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds or in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, just until warmed through. This pie is best enjoyed fresh, but it can still be delicious when reheated.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Yes, you can make this pie a day in advance. Once baked, let it cool completely, then store it in the refrigerator. Just reheat it before serving for the best texture and flavor. This is a great option if you’re preparing for a special occasion or gathering.
What can I use if I don’t have bourbon?
If you don’t have bourbon on hand, you can substitute it with another whiskey or even a flavored whiskey for a different profile. Alternatively, a non-alcoholic option could be a combination of apple cider vinegar and water to mimic the acidity without the alcohol.
Is there a gluten-free option for this pie crust?
Absolutely! You can use a gluten-free pie crust made from almond flour or a store-bought gluten-free crust. Just ensure that all other ingredients, including chocolate chips, are also gluten-free to keep the entire dessert suitable for gluten-sensitive diets.
