fyrite: This is a recipe my Mom makes every Christmas and it is my favourite pie. Nobody outside of my family seems to know about eggnog pie but almost everyone that tries it loves it, so I am happy to spread the word!
Crust:
* 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
* 1/4 cup sugar (I used a bit less)
* 1/4 cup ground almonds
* 1/4 cup melted butter
Blend ingredients. Set aside a few crumbs for topping. Press into pie plate.
Bake at 375F for 10 minutes. Chill.
Filling:
* 1 Tbsp gelatin
* 1/4 cup cold water
* 1/3 cup sugar
* 2 Tbsp cornstarch
* 1/8 tsp salt
* 2 cups eggnog
* 1 1/2 oz unsweetened chocolate
* 1 tsp vanilla
* 1 cup whipping cream
* 2 tsp rum
Soften gelatin in cold water. Mix sugar, cornstarch, salt and eggnog on the stove and cook until slightly thickened. Stir often or use a double-boiler. Add gelatin and stir until dissolved.
Set aside about 2/3rds of the custard and allow it to cool. To the 1/3rd left, add the unsweetened chocolate and the vanilla. Once the 2/3rds is cool, whip the whipping cream and rum, and add the 2/3rds custard. Pour into the pie shell and cool until set. Spread the chocolate layer over the first layer and chill overnight.
Topping:
* 1 cup whipping cream
* 2 tsp rum
* 1/4 cup icing sugar
Shortly before serving, whip cream with rum and icing sugar. Pile on the pie and decorate with crumbs.
