BLACK BOTTOM PIE

1 deep 9-inch crumb crust, ready to fill

1 TB plain gelatin
1/4 cup cold water
Soak the gelatin in the cold water.

Scald:
2 cups whole milk

Combine in a small bowl:
1/2 cup sugar
4 teaspoons cornstarch

Beat until light:
4 egg yolks

Into the egg yolks, gradually whisk the scalded milk, then the combined sugar and cornstarch. Cook these ingredients over very hot water, stirring constantly, until the mixture will heavily coat a spoon. Take out one cupful of the hot custard and add to it:

1 1/2 ounces melted bitter chocolate.

Beat until well blended and let cool. Pour the chocolate custard into the pie shell.

Meanwhile, beat the softened gelatin into the remaining custard while it is still hot and stir until it is dissolved. Let it cool but not until it stiffens. When it is cool, stir in:

1 tablespoon rum (or more, to taste)
1/4 teaspoon vanilla

Beat until stiff:
3 egg whites
1/4 teaspoon salt

Fold the whites into the cooled custard and pour it into the pie shell. Chill it until it sets. Cover with stiffly whipped cream:

1 cup heavy cream
2 TB confectioner's sugar
a few drops vanilla
