1 baked pie shell
1 tbsp. unflavored gelatin
1/4 c. cold water
2 separated eggs
1/4 c. sugar plus 6 tbsp. sugar
2 c. light cream
2 tbsp. rum

Soak gelatin in cold water for 5 minutes. In another bowl beat the egg yolks. Add 1/4 cup sugar and the cream. In a saucepan heat the mixture and cook until smooth and slightly thickened. Add gelatin mixture and stir until dissolved. Chill until starting to set. Beat egg whites until they hold a peak. Bake in 6 tablespoons sugar. Fold egg whites into the chilled mixture and add the rum. Pour into pie shell and refrigerate several hours. Serve with whipped cream and grated chocolate, if desired.
