Cooking for Christmas


Rum Cream Pie


 Ingredients:

5 egg yolks

¾ Cup Sugar

1 envelope gelatin

½ cut cold water

¾ cup whipping cream

11/2 ounces dark rum

9 inch Crumb pie shell.  Graham, ginger, vanilla, cookies can be used to make the pie shell.
Ginger is the best one I'v tried.

 Making the Pie


Beat egg yolks until light and add sugar.

Soak gelatin in cold water

Put over low fire and bring to a boil and pour it over the sugar-egg mixture, stirring briskly.

Whip cream until stiff, fold it into the egg mixture and flavor with the rum.

 

Cool until mixture begins to set and pour into pie shell.

Chill until firm.

Sprinkle top of pie with shaved chocolate (optional) and garnish with whipped cram.

Serve cold.
