Time 6h55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

30 gingersnaps, crushed
½ cup butter, softened
¾ cup white sugar
1 ¾ teaspoons cornstarch
⅛ teaspoon salt
4 egg yolks, beaten
2 cups milk
1 ½ (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin
¼ cup cold water
2 tablespoons dark rum
4 egg whites
¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
1 cup heavy cream
¼ cup grated semisweet chocolate

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Lightly grease a 10-inch pie pan.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together cookie crumbs and softened butter. Press firmly into pie pan. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, salt, and egg yolks. Bring milk to a simmer in top of a double boiler. Slowly whisk 1/2 cup of milk into egg yolk mixture, then gradually whisk egg yolk mixture into remaining 1 1/2 cups milk. Continue to cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is thick enough to coat back of spoon. Remove from heat.
  • Transfer 1 1/4 cups of hot egg yolk mixture to a small bowl and add unsweetened chocolate. Stir until chocolate is melted. Allow to cool slightly, then mix in vanilla extract. Pour chocolate mixture into cooled pie crust. Place in refrigerator.
  • Combine gelatin with cold water and set aside to soften 5 minutes. Add to remaining egg yolk mixture, stirring well. Allow to cool, then stir in rum.
  • In a large glass or metal bowl, combine egg whites and cream of tartar. Beat until stiff peaks form. Fold into cooled gelatin mixture. Spoon over chocolate layer.
  • In a medium bowl, whip cream until soft peaks form. Spread over top of pie. Sprinkle with grated chocolate. Chill at least 1 hour before serving.
