Place the crust in the refrigerator.", "For the ""Fudgy-Brownie"" layer:", "Chop the chocolate coarsely and place the chocolate in a large heat-proof bowl.", "In a small saucepan, heat the cream, butter, and corn syrup. Once it is simmering, remove from heat and pour it over the chopped chocolate and allow to sit for about one minute. Then whisk the mix until it is completely smooth.

Stir briskly, then add the bourbon.", "Swirl the topping over the frozen pie and return pie to freezer.", "To serve, cut the pie with a sharp knife that has been warmed in hot water.", "NOTE: The homemade fudge sauce used for the topping is the recipe ""3 Ingredient Fudge Bliss Sauce"". See my TastyKitchen recipe box for this recipe.", "If you're like me, and don't keep coffee ice cream in the house, simply take a pint of vanilla ice cream, allow it to soften, and then whip 3 teaspoons (more or less to taste) of espresso powder dissolved in 1 tablespoon of milk into it. Voila: coffee ice cream."]
