  Black Bottom Pie

1. Add 4 egg yolks to 2 cups scalded milk. Combine 1/2 cup of sugar with 1 1/4 cups of cornstarch and stir into milk. Cook in double boiler for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until it generously coats a spoon. Take out 1 cup custard.

2. Add 1 1/2 squares unsweetened, melted chocolate to the 1 cup of custard and beat well. When the chocolate custard cools add 1 teaspoon vanilla, then pour into a 9-inch baked, ginger snap crust.

3. Blend 1 tablespoon plain gelatin with 4 tablespoons cold water and add to remaining hot custard. Let cool but not thicken.

4. Beat 4 egg whites, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar into a meringue and fold into cool custard. Add 2 tablespoons rum. As soon as the chocolate custard has set, add this mixture. Chill again until set,

5. Whip 1 cup whipping cream and spread on top of pie.

6. Shave 1 square of bitter chocolate over pie and serve.
