    List of Ingredients




    Crust:
    1 cup ginger snaps, crushed
    ¼ cup butter, melted

    filling:
    1 –14 oz tin evaporated milk, chilled
    2 tbsp gelatin
    ¾ cup milk
    ¾ cup sugar
    2 egg yolks
    3 oz semi-sweet chocolate ( 3 squares)
    ¼ cup screech rum
    1 tsp vanilla extract
    1 cup whipping cream
    ¼ cup sugar
    2 egg whites

    Recipe



    crust:

    preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In saucepan, melt butter,
    add ginger snap crumbs and mix well. Press into 10-inch
    pie plate, covering bottom and sides evenly. Bake in 350
    degrees F oven for 10 minutes.

    Filling:

    Pour evaporated milk into shallow dish, place in freezer
    and chill until mushy around the edges. Soften the
    gelatin in ¼ cup of milk. Combine ¾ cup sugar, ½ cup
    milk, egg yolks and softened gelatin in top of double
    boiler and mix well. Cook over boiling water until
    gelatin dissolves and mixture thickens slightly, then
    remove from heat. Melt 2 squares ( 2oz) chocolate and
    add to egg and gelatin mixture; beat until smooth.
    Allow mixture to chill until slightly thickened, and
    syrupy. Whip chilled evaporated milk until thick.
    Fold whipped milk, rum and vanilla extract into
    chocolate mixture; pour into pie shell and chill
    thoroughly. Whip cream until stiff peaks form. Beat
    egg whites until frothy, add ¼ cup sugar gradually
    and continue to beat until soft peaks form. Fold egg
    whites into whipped cream and spread over pie.
    Shave the remaining chocolate into curls and sprinkle
    in lattice pattern over top of whipped cream mixture.
