IRISH WHISKEY PIE

Category: Pies - Cream and Custard

1 baked graham cracker crumb crust, cooled
5 egg yolks
3/4 cup sugar
1 envelope gelatin
1/4 cup cold water
1/2 cup Irish whiskey
1-1/2 cups heavy cream
Green food coloring (optional)
2 tbsp shaved semi-sweet chocolate, for garnish
Beat egg yolks until they are thick and lemon colored. Slowly beat in the sugar. Soften gelatin in water and then add 1/4 cup Irish whiskey. Heat over boiling water until gelatin dissolves. Add gelatin mixture into the egg yolks, stirring quickly. Pour in the remaining Irish whiskey.

Beat the cream until soft peaks form (I tint it green with food coloring). Fold in 1 cup of whipped cream to mixture. Pour filling into pie shell and chill.

When the filling is set, decorate with a border of the remaining whipped cream and sprinkle shaved chocolate over the center.
