List of Ingredients
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup cold water
3 eggs, separated, room temperature
1/2 cup brandy or cognac
1/2 cup creme de cacao
1/3 cup sugar (additional)
1/2 cup whipping cream, well chilled
9 inch graham pie crust
1/2 pint whipping cream (to top pie)
shaved chocolate curls (garnish)Recipe
Heat on low until completely dissolved: 1/8 tsp salt, 1 envelope gelatin, 1/3 cup sugar, 1/2 cup cold water. Beat well and then add 3 egg yolks to mixture on stove and stir this mixture until it begins to thicken. Then remove from heat and stir in thoroughly: 1/2 cup brandy or cognac and 1/2 cup creme de cacao. Place this mixture in refrigerator until it is soft set. In a bowl, beat until stiff: 3 egg whites (at room temperature).
In another bowl, whip 1/3 cup sugar combined with 1/2 pint well chilled whipping cream. When the gelatin mixture has thickened sufficiently, remove it from the refrigerator and fold it and the beaten egg whites into the whipped cream. After the three are blended, pour the mixture into a 9" graham cracker crust and refrigerate until firm (at least one hour). Just before serving, whip 1/2 pint of whipping cream and add sugar and vanilla to taste. Cover pie with this and chocolate flakes, if desired.
