Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
I made you this boozy pie courtesy of grandma’s recipe collection.
Folks, I am not going to lie. This pie tastes like straight booze, I am not even sure we can really call it a pie. In fact, I don’t recommend eating more than one slice of pie if you had hoped to drive somewhere after. Despite that warning I think it is the perfect treat for celebrating this holiday.
I am sure many of you spent your weekends celebrating and wearing green. If you have any party left in you then I suggest you whip up this baby up. I could have gone the whole corned beef and cabbage route but I am always reminded that this is not really an Irish dish so why should I continue to peddle the myth? My dad does make a pretty awesome corned beef and cabbage so I might just have to bring it out at another time. This pie may not be the national pie of Ireland but it has enough Irish Whiskey in it where you wont find yourself doubting the Irish connection.
In other news, it is snowing again. I just CAN’T anymore. I loved winter once but now I am thinking it is time we went our separate ways. I keep trying to tell it that I want to move on and at first it seems to understand; it lets me have one day, one moment of happiness, and then it walks back in to my life and refuses to leave me alone. Winter why have you been so cruel?
I think I’ll go eat another slice of pie and forget all about you!
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch Graham Cracker Crust
- 1/2 Cup Cold Coffee (Bold)
- 3 Eggs
- 1 Pkg. Gelatin
- 1/4 Cup Cold Water
- 2/3 Cup Sugar (Divided)
- 1/4 Cup Kahlua
- 1/3 Cup Irish Whiskey
- 1/4 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream
Instructions
- Separate the yolks and the whites into two separate bowls. Dissolve the gelatin a bowl with the cold water. Gently beat your egg yolks. Combine your egg yolks, coffee, 1/3 cup of sugar and gelatin in a double boiler. Stir occasionally until the mixture begins to thicken, be mindful not to scramble the eggs. Once the mixture has thickened to the point that it coats your spoon you can remove it from the heat. Add your Kahlua and whiskey to your egg mixture and stir. Allow the mixture to chill in the fridge. Once cooled add your egg whites to a mixing bowl and begin to whip, once your egg whites start to foam add your remaining sugar (1/3 cup) and continue mixing until the egg whites form stiff peaks. Fold the egg whites into the cooled down coffee/liquor mixture. In another bowl whip your heavy whipping cream until it is stiff, careful not to over whip. Fold your whip cream in to the mix as well. Pour your mixture into the pie crust and chill until completely set. Top with shaved chocolate and serve.
This looks amazing!!
