Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 5 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Cornstarch
• 4 Egg yolks
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons Rum (dark or spiced)
• 1 cups Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Dark chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened.

Step 3

Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to create an even crust.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.

Step 5

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the milk, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and cornstarch over medium heat.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Slowly add about 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture into the yolks while whisking constantly to temper them.

Step 7

Pour the tempered egg yolks back into the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture. Continue to cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble (about 3-5 minutes).

Step 8

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in 2 tablespoons butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and rum. Mix until smooth.

Step 9

Pour the filling into the cooled graham cracker crust and smooth the top. Cover the surface directly with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.

Step 10

In a cold mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract to stiff peaks.

Step 11

Remove the pie from the refrigerator, discard the plastic wrap, and spread or pipe the whipped cream evenly over the top of the pie.

Step 12

Optional: Garnish with dark chocolate shavings for a decorative finish.

Step 13

Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your Rum Cream Pie!
