Eggnog Pie - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 eggs, separated
3/4 c. sugar
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1 1/2 c. hot milk
1 envelope plain gelatin
1/4 c. cold water
1 c. cream, whipped
1/2 tsp. vanilla
bitter chocolate, grated
baked pie shells

Preparation

Beat egg yolks, 1/2 cup of the sugar, salt and nutmeg until light.
Pour this gradually into hot milk.
Cook only until mixture lightly coats the spoon.
Remove from heat.
Dissolve gelatin in cold water and add to milk mixture.
Cool.
When filling starts to set (this takes quite awhile), beat egg whites and add remaining 1/4 cup sugar.
Whip the cream and add vanilla.
Fold mixtures together.
Pour into two 8-inch pie shells.
Grate chocolate over top and chill.
A holiday tradition in our family.
