Recipe Introduction
Jessica made this version of Dick Taeuber�s Brandy Alexander pie for Thanksgiving 2012. It was delicious and very popular.
List of Ingredients
1 1/2 cups gingersnap crumbs
1/4 cups melted butter
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
2/3 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 eggs, separated � at room temperature
1/4 cup Stoli vanilla
1/4 cup Cr�me de Cacao
1 cup heavy cream
Chocolate shavings
Recipe
Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix the crumbs with the butter and press into a 9-inch pie pan. Bake for 10 minutes and cool.
Put 1/2 c. cold water into a medium saucepan and sprinkle the gelatin over it. Add 1/3 c. sugar, the salt and the egg yolks. Stir to mix. Heat on low and stir until the gelatin dissolves and the mixture thickens slightly � not as thick as custard. Remove from heat before it boils.
Stir in the liquor. Chill until the mixture mounds slightly when stirred. You don�t want it to be too cold or the filling will be lumpy when you mix it with the beaten egg whites.
Beat the whites until almost stiff, add the remaining 1/3 c. sugar and beat to stiff peaks. Fold this into the egg yolk/liquor mixture.
Whip the cream and fold into the meringue/egg yolk mixture. Pour into the crust and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
Garnish with chocolate shavings before serving.
