FROZEN MAPLE MOUSSE PIE

Steps:

• Add 2 inches of water in a medium saucepan; bring the water to a bare simmer.
• Whisk the egg yolks and maple syrup together in a medium stainless steel bowl and place the bowl over the simmering water, making sure that the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water.
• Heat the egg/maple mixture, whisking constantly, until it registers 160° on an instant-read thermometer.
• Remove the bowl from the pan; using an electric mixer, beat the egg/maple mixture for about 5 minutes or until it is cool and thick; stir in the rum.
• In another medium mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, using an electric mixer, until soft peaks form.
• Gently fold the whipped cream into the egg/maple mixture.
• Scrape the filling into the prepared pie crust.
• Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate until the filling is completely set (at least 6 hours and up to 1 day)--I don't know why this pie is called frozen.
