MAUI MACADAMIA NUT RUM PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• If madadamia nuts are salted, spread on towel and rub to remove as much salt as possible.
• Chop nuts and place in single layer on baking sheet.
• Toast about 5 minutes, or until golden brown. Set aside.
• Combine sugar, gelatin, cornstarch and salt in blender or food processor.
• Add cream cheese and sour cream.
• Whirl, gradually adding milk, and continue blending or processing until smooth.
• Note: If using a food processor, add part of the milk, process and pour part of the mixture into top of a double boiler, then add remainder of milk and process. This will prevent an overflow from too much liquid.
• Place mixture in top of double boiler and cook over gently boiling water until thick and smooth, stirring constantly, about 15 minutes.
