Jackie,
While I was typing the recipe I asked myself the same question. I would imagine it would be unsweetened as there is so much sugar in the recipe. What's interesting about this Black Bottom pie is the top comes out like cake and the bottom is similar to fudge (if I remember correctly). The unsweetened whipped cream really finishes it off.


See, I didn't tease you... :dunno: :dunno: :dunno: :dunno: :dunno:

Wow, very interesting recipe, and not at all the black Bottom Pie I remember my Mom making (for company, as it had rum in it, which we didn't like anyway). It sounds fussy but boy! is it worth it!

This is the recipe for the one I remember:

Black Bottom Pie

Prepare a deep 9 or 10" pie crust, baked and cooled

Soak together for 10 minutes:
1 Tbsp. plain gelatin
1/4 cup cold water
Scald:
2 cups whole or 2% milk

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

In another bowl, beat til light:
4 egg yolks

Stir the scalded milk in slowly. Stir in the sugar mixture. Cook very slowly over hot water or on a very low burner setting, stirring often, about 20 minutes, until the mixture will coat a spoon heavily.
Take out 1 cupful of the custard and add to it:
2 oz melted baking chocolate
1 teasp. vanilla
Spread this mixture evenly in the bottom of the cooled pie shell.

Now dissolve the soaked gelatin in the remaining, hot custard. Let it cool to room temperature but not to the point it begins to stiffen. When it is cool, stir in:
2 TB. rum

Beat til they hold glossy peaks:
3 egg whites
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
Beat in a little at a time:
1/4 cup sugar


Continue to beat til the sugar is well dissolved and the whites are stiff and glossy. Fold them lightly but thoroughly into the remaining custard. Cover the chocolate custard with the rum custard, cover with plastic wrap and chill til it sets.
Whip til stiff:
1 cup heavy cream
2 TBsp. confectioners sugar

Cover the pie with the cream. Sprinkle over the top:
1/2 oz shaved chocolate
