Chocolate Rum Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Melt chocolate together in double boiler. Remove chocolate from heat. Add eggs, 1 cup of whipping cream, vanilla extract, and rum very slowly to the chocolate. Pour mixture into pie crust. Place pie in refrigerator Topping: Whip the rest of the cream with 2 tbsp of powdered sugar and rum until there are stiff peaks. Spoon or use an icing bag to put whipped cream on pie. Alternative Ideas: *Chocolate shavings on top of pie *Chocolate sticks on each slice of pie *Instead of placing whipped cream on top of pie you could fold the whipped cream into the filling.

Steps:

• 1. GRAHAM CRACKER CRUST: Combine all 4 crust ingredients and press into 8 or 9 inch pie plate
• 2. MAKE CUSTARD: Stir the scaled milk slowly into the beaten eggs then stir in the sugar mixture and cook in double boiler over hot water stirring occasionally for about 20 minutes or until custard coats the spoon
• 3. REMOVE one cup of hot custard and set aside for the top layer
• 4. To remaining hot custard still in the pan add 1 1/2 squares of dark baking chocolate (can use sweetened or milk chocolate if prefer) -- beat until well blended, then let cool
• 5. Add 1/2 tsp vanilla and pour choc custard into the pie shell
• 6. SECOND OR TOP LAYER OF CUSTARD: add dissolved gelatine to 1C of plain custard that was set aside before -- then add 1T of rum extract and mix well
• 7. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff, adding the salt, cream of tartar, and sugar, one teaspoon full at a time until all is incorporated.
• 8. Fold the egg-white mixture into the custard-with-rum mixture and pour it on top of the chocolate layer and place in refrigerator to cool
• 9. After the pie has set up, cover the top with whipped cream and shaved chocolate just before serving.

Steps:

• Beat egg and sugar in small bowl until thick and creamy, stir in blended cornflour and milk.
• Pour mixture into pan, stir over heat until mixture boils and thickens.
• Remove from heat, add chocolate, stir until chocolate is melted.
• Sprinkle gelatine over water in cup, stand in small pan of simmering water, stir until dissolved.
• Add to chocolate mixture, mix well, cool to room temperature, stir in rum.
• Beat cream until soft peaks form, fold into chocolate mixture.
• Pour into pastry shell, refrigerate several hours until firm.

Steps:

• Grease a nine-inch pie pan.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, two teaspoons sugar, the cinnamon and allspice. Cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Gradually sprinkle in the ice water while lightly kneading the dough by hand until it holds together. Gather into a ball, wrap in waxed paper and refrigerate for one hour.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Roll out the dough to one-eighth-inch thickness. Line the prepared pan, trimming the extra dough at the top. Spread the pecans and chocolate chips on the bottom.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, remaining sugar, eggs, corn syrup, vanilla extract, lemon zest and nutmeg. Pour into the pan.
• Bake for 15 minutes, lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees and bake for 30 minutes, or until the top begins to brown and the center is almost set. Remove, sprinkle with rum and cool. Serve at room temperature with some whipped cream, if desired.

Steps:

• In a medium microwave-safe bowl, microwave 1 1/4 cups cream until hot, about 3 minutes. Add chocolate and let stand until melted, 5 to 10 minutes. Whisk to combine, then whisk in rum. Pour 1 1/2 cups chocolate mixture into crust (reserve remaining chocolate mixture). Sprinkle nuts over top. Refrigerate pie 3 hours (or up to 2 days).
• In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat 2 cups cream with sugar on high until stiff peaks form, 2 minutes. Top pie with whipped cream, then dot with reserved chocolate mixture. With a skewer, gently swirl chocolate through whipped cream.

Steps:

• For Filling:
• Whisk first 4 ingredients in heavy medium saucepan to blend. Whisk in egg yolks to form thick paste. Gradually whisk in milk, then cream. Whisk over medium-high heat until mixture thickens and boils 1 minute. Remove from heat. Add chocolate and whisk until smooth. Whisk in rum and vanilla. Cool 5 minutes, whisking occasionally. Transfer filling to frozen crust. Chill until cold, at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.
• For Topping:
• Beat first 3 ingredients in large bowl until firm peaks form. Spoon whipped cream into pastry bag fitted with large star tip. Pipe rosettes around edge of pie. Garnish with chocolate curls. (Can be made 4 hours ahead; chill.)
