Day 9: Brandy Alexander Pie

Listed as one of the 10 worst cocktails by Esquire magazine in 1934, a Brandy Alexander is a sweet brandy based cocktail that reminds one more of a milkshake than a drink that leads to a good night but a terrible hangover.

But that, dear reader, is precisely why it makes for a fantastic a pie.

A Brandy Alexander Pie has a crumb crust and a mousse like filling that includes creme de cacao, brandy, and heavy cream. Absolutely terrible for you but totally worth it. I tried it for the first time today and you can absolutely taste the alcohol in this thing so don't say you weren't warned. If you are like me and you actually like the flavor of brandy then you will most definitely like this delicious desert.

You can find recipes for it here, here, and here. I hope to make my own version of it sometime in the near future.

Until Tomorrow,
Cat
