Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
-
Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish, forming a firm, even crust. Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
-
In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream and whole milk over medium heat until it just comes to a simmer.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, egg yolks, and salt until smooth and well combined.
-
Gradually whisk the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture, then return the entire mixture to the saucepan.
-
Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens and coats the back of a spoon, usually about 5-8 minutes.
-
Remove the custard from the heat and stir in the dark rum until well incorporated.
-
Let the custard cool slightly, then pour it into the prepared graham cracker crust. Smooth out the top with a spatula.
-
Cover the pie with plastic wrap, making sure the wrap touches the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming.
-
Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to set.
-
Before serving, top the pie with a generous dollop of whipped cream and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
-
Slice and enjoy.
