directions

  • 1. Make Crust: Preheat oven to 350°F In a medium bowl, combine all crust ingredients. Press onto bottom and up side s of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake for 10 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack.
  • 2. Make Pie Filling: Place sugar, cornstarch, an salt in a large saucepan and whisk to combine. Whisk in milk. Place over med-high heat and bring to a simmer, whisking constantly. Cook, continuing to whisk well, until mixture thickens, 3 to 4 minutes. Place yolks in a medium bowl and beat until just combined. Whisking constantly, slowly drizzle in 1 cup of milk mixture, whisking constantly. Whisk in rum extract.
  • 3. Pour mixture back into large saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it just comes to a boil. Gently boil (reduce heat if it starts to boil vigorously) until custard is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 2 minutes. Pour custard mixture into cooled crust. Cover with plastic wrap, lightly pressing wrap directly onto surface of custard. Let cook, then refrigerate until cold, at least 1 hour.
  • 4 Make topping: in a small chilled bowl, beat heavy cream with sugar and rum extract until soft peaks form. Remove plastic wrap from top of custard and spoon whipped cream over, leaving a boarder. Sprinkle with chocolate shavings, if desired. Chill pie until ready to serve.
