How to Make Rum Bisque Pie

  1. In a small bowl, soften gelatin in 3 tablespoons cold water for 1 minute. Stir in 1 tablespoon rum. Set aside.
  2. Bake pie shell according to package directions. Lightly toast almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant; set aside.
  3. In a medium saucepan, whisk together egg yolks and 1/2 cup sugar until well combined.
  4. Add salt and milk. Cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon (about 5-7 minutes). Do not boil.
  5. Remove from heat. Stir in the bloomed gelatin, vanilla extract, and crushed macaroons until smooth.
  6. In a separate bowl, beat heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  7. Gently fold the whipped cream into the custard mixture.
  8. In a clean bowl, beat egg whites with 2 teaspoons sugar until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  9. Gently fold the egg whites into the custard mixture. Do not overmix.
  10. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to allow it to slightly thicken.
  11. Pour the chilled mixture into the baked pie shell.
  12. Garnish with Cool Whip and toasted almonds.
  13. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4-6 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving. Enjoy!
