Nesselrode Pie I Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the milk in a saucepan and when it is warm, add the gelatin. Stir to dissolve. Bring just to the simmer and remove from the heat.
• Put the egg yolks in a mixing bowl and add one-quarter cup of sugar. Beat until golden yellow and slightly thickened. Add the hot milk mixture, stirring vigorously.
• Pour this liquid into a saucepan and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until the custard coats the spoon with a film. The correct temperature on a thermometer is 180 degrees. Immediately pour the mixture into a cold mixing bowl so that it does not cook further. Add the Nesselrode mix and stir. Let cool.
• Beat the egg whites until foamy. Continue beating while gradually adding the remaining one-third cup of sugar. Beat until stiff and fold this into the custard mixture.
• Beat the cream until stiff and fold it into the custard. Pour the mixture into the pie shell. Cover and refrigerate several hours or overnight until set.

Steps:

• For crumb crust: Process sugar and crumbs in food processor. Melt butter, combine with sugar and crumbs. Press into a 9 inch pie plate until firm (I use the bottom of a glass to press it in.) Bake at 325 degrees for about 15 minutes, let cool. For the filling: Pour rum over the fruits, let macerate for at least one hour. Bring ¾ c. cream to a simmer. Beat egg yolks with sugar until pale yellow. Whisk in part of the hot cream, then return the eggs to the remainder of the cream and whisk over low heat until the mixture is thickened. Fold in chestnut puree. Meanwhile, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water in a small bowl. When the gelatin has absorbed the water and the custard is thickened, whisk the gelatin into the cream and eggs mixture. Refrigerate until firm. Break up the firmed custard with some vigorous stirring. Beat the egg whites until stiff and whip the remaining cream. Fold the macerated fruits (with the rum), the whipped cream and the beaten egg whites into the chestnut custard mixture. Pour into the prepared pie shell. Chill until firm, and garnish with curls of chocolate.
