Instructions
- Make the pie crust by mixing butter into flour until it resembles coarse meal, then combine with egg, water, vinegar, and salt to form dough.
- Divide the dough into thirds, flatten, wrap, and freeze until needed.
- Roll out one piece of dough and fit it into a pie plate, then refrigerate while preparing the brownie layer.
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
- Mix canola oil and melted butter, then add cocoa and stir until blended.
- Beat eggs with sugar and vanilla, then combine with the chocolate mixture and stir in flour and salt.
- Spread the brownie mixture into the pie crust and bake for 45-50 minutes until set.
- For the Crème Brûlée layer, heat cream, liqueur, chocolate, and vanilla bean seeds until melted and smooth.
- Whisk together egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch, then combine with the chocolate mixture and heat until thickened.
- Pour the Crème Brûlée mixture over the cooled brownie layer and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Before serving, whip the cream with powdered sugar and liqueur until stiff peaks form.
- Slice the pie, sprinkle brown sugar on top, and brûlée using a kitchen torch or broiler just before serving.
