Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.4 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 3 large Egg yolks
- 0.25 cup Rum (dark or spiced)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Whipped cream
- 2 tablespoons Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk, brown sugar, and cornstarch. Whisk together until smooth.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it begins to thicken and bubble, about 5-7 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually add a few tablespoons of the hot cream mixture to the egg yolks, whisking constantly, to temper the eggs.
Pour the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan and continue to cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes until the filling is thick and smooth.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the rum and vanilla extract.
Allow the filling to cool slightly before pouring it into the prepared crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until set.
Before serving, spread whipped cream over the top of the pie and garnish with chocolate shavings or a light dusting of cocoa powder, if desired.
Slice and enjoy your delicious Rum Pie!
