Ingredients
  

For the crust
  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour (divided)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup cold unsalted butter (cut into 1/2 inch cubes) Always use cold butter for the crust.
  • 2-4 tablespoons ice water
For the filling
  • 6 large egg yolks
  • 2 cups dark brown sugar (packed)
  • 7 tablespoons water (divided)
  • ¾ cup heavy whipping cream (divided)
  • cup cornstarch
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons whole milk
  • 1 ½ teaspoons powdered gelatin
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
For the topping
  • cup heavy whipping cream (cold)
  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Toffee bits (optional) Optional as a topping.

Method
 

Make the Crust
  1. In a bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add ice water gradually until a dough forms. Roll out the dough, fit it into a pie dish, and chill.
Prepare the Filling
  1. In a saucepan, combine dark brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually whisk in milk and water. Cook over medium heat until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in egg yolks, followed by gelatin and butter until smooth.
Cool and Whip
  1. Allow the filling to cool slightly before pouring into the crust. For the topping, beat the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Spread over the cooled filling and, if desired, sprinkle with toffee bits.

Best served chilled. To store your pie, cover it with plastic wrap or foil and keep it in the refrigerator for up to five days. For longer storage, freeze after the filling has set.
