Directions

  1. For crust, prepare the Shortbread Cookies/Pie Crust recipe. Crumble the cooled cookies in a food processor. Melt 2 tbsp butter and mix with cookie crumbs to form crust. Press into pie plate. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Add the first 9 ingredients into a bowl and mix until combined. Add eggs in, 1 at a time, combining after each addition. Add in heavy cream, mix on low until thoroughly combined.
  3. Pour filling into crust. Bake until edges are puffed and center is set, about 1 hour. Cool completely, cover and chill overnight.
  4. Prepare marshmallow topping. Put egg whites and corn syrup in stand mixer bowl, using a whisk attachment, and whip on high until medium peaks form. Add in powdered sugar and whisk on medium-high until powdered sugar is incorporated, then turn mixer to high and whip until stiff peaks form.
  5. Shortly before serving pie, cover completely with marshmallow topping. Brulee topping and refrigerate until serving.
