Brandy Alexander Pie Recipe – Rustic Crafts & Chic Decor

Chocolate, brandy, and creamy goodness can be just what the doctor ordered on a frigid winter night. I find myself going for more decadent desserts and drinks when the weather outside is cooler. Although this Brandy Alexander pie recipe is perfect for a holiday treat, it really should be made more often!

This Brandy Alexander pie makes a great dessert at the cabin. It is good for any time of the year. Although the pie is chilled, the warmth of the brandy taste makes it a good choice even when the temperature outside is chilly. Imagine sitting by a fire on a cold night. Instead of sipping an evening cocktail, you can bite into a delicious mouthful of yummy goodness. The pie is very rich and satisfying, a perfect comfort food.
