DICK TAEUBER'S BRANDY ALEXANDER PIE



Dick Taeuber's Brandy Alexander Pie image

In January 1970, The Times published a recipe for brandy Alexander pie. It was an unassuming confection: a graham-cracker crust filled with a wobbly, creamy mousse and enough alcohol to raise the hair on your neck and then make your neck wobbly too. Later that year, Craig Claiborne, then the food editor, declared it one of the paper's three most-requested dessert recipes and ran it again. By rights, this should have been the recipe's swan song. But thanks to Dick Taeuber, a Maryland statistician, the pie lived on. Taeuber discovered that you could use a simple formula to make the pie in the flavor of almost any cocktail you wanted (3 eggs to 1 cup cream to 1/2 cup liquor). In 1975, Claiborne renamed it Dick Taeuber's cordial pie and published it once more, this time with all 20 variations (see note). Calling it a cordial pie doesn't quite capture its punch or proof. Booze pie would be more fitting. It's not the kind of thing you want to serve for a children's birthday party.

FROZEN BRANDY ALEXANDER PIE



Frozen Brandy Alexander Pie image

A responsible parent would say to keep this from the kids....My friend makes this every year for her non sweet eating sister's birthday- that it was her absolute favorite thing. That is pretty high praise, so I had to make it. Once you try it, you will make it often. It has a marvelous texture due to the alcohol- it doesn't freeze as hard as regular ice cream. I think it would also be good with a chocolate crumb crust.

This recipe was originally published in 1970, in an article in the New York Times by Craig Claiborne and Pierre Franey. I do not use the food coloring, but feel free to color the pie to your liking. "Cooking time" is refrigeration time. When I was submitting this recipe, Food.com made me specify an amount for the gelatin - it would not let me enter "one envelope" - just know that one envelope is the correct amount of gelatin.
