Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 4 large Egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons Dark rum
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Whipped cream, for topping
- 1 pinch Grated nutmeg (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until evenly combined and the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Set aside to cool.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the heavy cream and whole milk. Heat until steam begins to rise, but do not let it boil.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks, dark rum, brown sugar, flour, cornstarch, and salt until smooth.
Gradually pour about 1/2 cup of the hot cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs and prevent curdling.
Slowly pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture, whisking constantly.
Cook the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens to a pudding-like consistency. This should take about 8-10 minutes. Do not let the mixture boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Pour the filling into the cooled crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Cover the pie with plastic wrap, ensuring the wrap touches the surface of the filling to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is fully set.
Before serving, top the pie with whipped cream and a light dusting of grated nutmeg, if desired. Slice and enjoy!
