Brandy Alexander Pie




Filling for a 9 inch pie crust of your choice:

• 1 envelope unflavored gelatin
• 1/2 cup cold water
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 3 eggs separated
• 1/4 cup cognac
• 1/4 cup creme de cacao
• 2 cups heavy cream, whipped, 1 is for garnish

Instructions:
Sprinkle gelatin over cold water in a sauce pan. Add 1/3 cup sugar, salt and egg yolks. Stir to blend. Heat over low flame until sugar and gelatin dissolve. Remove from heat. Add liquor and chill until mixture starts to thicken. Beat egg whites until stiff, adding 1/3 cup sugar. Fold into thickened mixture. Whip cream until stiff. Fold 1 cup into pie filling. Garnish with the other cup of whipped cream. Chill for several hours or overnight.

To make this into an Irish coffee pie, substitute strong cold coffee for water and 1/2 cup Irish whiskey for the other liquor.
