Chocolate-Bourbon-Butterscotch Icebox Cake
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 3 cups milk
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 cups firmly packed dark brown sugar
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
- 1/4 cup bourbon
- 64 chocolate wafers (about 1 1/2 9-oz. packages)
- Garnish: crushed chocolate wafers
- Place cornstarch in a medium bowl. Gradually whisk in milk and eggs.
- Melt butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat, and stir in brown sugar. Cook, stirring constantly, about 10 minutes or until mixture bubbles and becomes shiny.
- Gradually whisk cream into butter mixture. (Mixture will bubble and clump but will get smooth as it cooks.) Cook, whisking constantly, 4 to 5 minutes or until smooth.
- Gradually whisk about one-fourth of hot butter mixture into egg mixture, 1/2 cup at a time. Gradually add egg mixture to remaining hot butter mixture, whisking constantly.
- Increase heat to medium-high. Add vanilla and salt, and cook, whisking constantly, about 5 minutes or until mixture thickens and just begins to bubble. Remove from heat, and stir in bourbon. Place plastic wrap directly onto warm filling (to prevent a film from forming). Cool completely (about 2 hours).
- Place 16 cookies in a single layer on bottom of a 9-inch square pan. Spread 1 1/2 cups pudding over cookies. Repeat layers 3 times, using remaining pudding on top layer. Cover and chill 8 to 24 hours. Just before serving, top with Sweetened Whipped Cream.
- Note: We tested with Nabisco Famous Chocolate Wafers.
