Black-Bottom Pie


http://media.bonnint.net/slc/2127/212770/21277086.jpg

* 1/2 cup sugar
* 1 tablespoon cornstarch
* 2 cups milk, scalded
* 4 beaten egg yolks
* 1 teaspoon vanilla
* 1 cup semisweet chocolate pieces
* 1 baked 9-inch pie shell
* 1 tablespoon (1 envelope) unflavored gelatin
* 1/4 cup cold water
* 4 egg whites
* 1/2 cup sugar
* 1 cup heavy cream, whipped
* Chocolate decorettes

Method:

Combine sugar and cornstarch. Slowly add scalded milk to beaten egg yolks. Stir in sugar mixture. Cook and stir in top of double boiler until the custard coats a spoon. Add vanilla.

To 1 cup of the custard, add the chocolate pieces. Stir until chocolate is melted. Pour in bottom of cooled, baked pie shell. Chill.

Soften gelatin in cold water; add to remaining hot custard. Stir until dissolved. Chill until slightly thick.

Beat egg whites, adding sugar gradually, until mixture stands in stiff peaks. Fold in custard-gelatin mixture. Pour over chocolate layer and chill until set.

Garnish with whipped cream and chocolate decorettes.
