How to make 1975 Dick Taeuber's Brandy Alexander Pie

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups gingersnap crumbs
1/4 cups melted butter
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
2/3 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 eggs, separated
1/4 cup Cognac
1/4 cup Crème de Cacao
1 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Combine the crumbs with the butter. Form in a 9-inch pan and bake for 10 minutes. Cool.
  • Pour 1/2 cup cold water in a saucepan and sprinkle the gelatin over it. Add 1/3 cup sugar, salt and egg yolks. Stir to blend.
  • Place over low heat and stir until the gelatin dissolves and mixture thickens slightly (it won't be as thick as a custard). Do not boil! Remove from heat.
  • Stir the liqueurs or liquor into the mixture. Then chill until the mixture starts to mound slightly.
  • Beat the egg whites until stiff, then add the remaining sugar and beat until the peaks are firm. Fold the meringue into the thickened mixture.
  • Whip the cream, then fold into the mixture.
  • Turn the mixture into the crust. Chill for several hours or overnight.
