Total Time: 40 minutes
Servings: 8
Yield: 1 Nine-inch pie
Ingredients:
- 1 1/3 cups milk
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup macadamia nuts, chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 5 egg whites
- 2 cups heavy cream
Instructions:
| Step | Instructions |
|---|---|
| 1 | In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of the milk, 1/4 cup of the sugar, 1/4 cup of the macadamia nuts, the salt, and the vanilla; scald. |
| 2 | Mix the remaining 1/3 cup milk with 1 whole egg and cornstarch. |
| 3 | Thoroughly stir some of the hot mixture into the egg mixture (adding a small amount first to even out the temperature helps to prevent the egg from scrambling when added to the rest of the hot mixture); return all to the saucepan. |
| 4 | Cook for 5 more minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens. |
| 5 | Cool for 1 hour. |
| 6 | Beat egg whites until soft peaks form; fold carefully into the cooled mixture. |
| 7 | Pour the mixture into the pie shell; chill. |
| 8 | Before serving, top with sweetened whipped cream and the remaining 1/4 cup of macadamia nuts. |
