NESSELRODE PIE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees F. In a food processor, pulse the graham crackers and cocoa to form fine crumbs. Add the butter and pulse to combine.
• Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9" pie plate. Bake until lightly toasted, 10 to 14 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 cup milk and the rum in a heavy-bottomed saucepan until small bubbles appear around the edges. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and brown sugar until thick and pale, about 2 minutes.
• Whisking constantly, gradually pour the warm milk over the egg mixture. Return to the saucepan and cook, stirring constantly, over medium-low heat until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 12 to 17 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in the chestnut purée until smooth (if you can't whisk it smooth, transfer to a food processor and purée).
• Place the remaining 1⁄4 cup milk in a bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the top and let sit for 5 minutes. Whisk into the warm chestnut mixture to combine, then pass through a strainer, return to the bowl, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cool to the touch, 45 minutes to 1 hour (do not leave longer or the gelatin will set).
• Using an electric mixer, beat the cream in a large bowl until medium-stiff peaks form. Stir a spoonful of heavy cream into the chestnut mixture to loosen, then fold in the remaining cream. Transfer to the prepared crust and refrigerate until set, at least 2 hours or up to 2 days.
• If desired, top with chocolate curls or shavings before serving.

NESSELRODE PIE

Steps:

• Heat the milk in a saucepan and when it is warm, add the gelatin. Stir to dissolve. Bring just to the simmer and remove from the heat.
• Put the egg yolks in a mixing bowl and add one-quarter cup of sugar. Beat until golden yellow and slightly thickened. Add the hot milk mixture, stirring vigorously.
• Pour this liquid into a saucepan and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until the custard coats the spoon with a film. The correct temperature on a thermometer is 180 degrees. Immediately pour the mixture into a cold mixing bowl so that it does not cook further. Add the Nesselrode mix and stir. Let cool.
• Beat the egg whites until foamy. Continue beating while gradually adding the remaining one-third cup of sugar. Beat until stiff and fold this into the custard mixture.
• Beat the cream until stiff and fold it into the custard. Pour the mixture into the pie shell. Cover and refrigerate several hours or overnight until set.

NESSELRODE PUDDING PIE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, dissolve the gelatin in the rum and cold water; set aside to soften.
• Scald the cream and milk in a saucepan, taking care not to scorch.
• Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
• In the top of a double boiler, off the heat, whisk together the salt, 2 T of the sugar, and the egg yolks.
• In a steady stream, add the milk and cream to the mixture, stirring constantly.
• Set the top of the double boiler over simmering water and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thick (approximately ten minutes); do not boil.
• Remove from heat and stir in gelatin mixture.
• Set aside.
• In a bowl, beat the egg whites with the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar until stiff peaks form.
• Fold drained Nesselrode fruit sauce gently into the egg whites, then fold the mixture into the reserved gelatin mixture.
• Cover and refrigerate approximately 10 to 20 minutes.
• Turn mixture into a baked pie shell or spoon into 8 parfait glasses.
• Chill until firm or overnight.
• Sprinkle generously with chocolate shavings for garnish, if desired.
