1 1/2 tb Gelatin
7 Egg yolks
1 c Granulated sugar
2 ts Cornstarch
1 1/2 c Milk

1 tb Sugar
1/2 c Heavy whipping cream
+=PLUS=+
1 c Whipping cream; chilled
1 tb Creme de menthe
1 tb Sugar
1 ts Vanilla

- whole

CRUST: Pulse cookies in food processor. Mix with melted
butter in medium bowl. Press into a 9" pie plate with
the back of a spoon and refrigerate.

BAVARIAN CREAM FILLING: Combine water and peppermint
extract. Sprinkle gelatin over mixture and set aside to
soften.

Beat egg yolks and sugar for 2-3 minutes until mixture
is pale yellow and forms the ribbon. Beat in cornstarch.

Bring milk to a boil over medium heat (slowly) ensuring
it does not burn.

Beat the milk by droplets into the egg yolks. Pour back
into sauce pan and set over medium heat. Stir with a
wooden spoon until mixture thickens enough to coat spoon
lightly. Be careful not to overheat or cook too quickly
and risk scrambling the eggs. Remove from heat and add
gelatin, stirring to dissolve completely.

Beat the egg whites and salt until soft peaks form.
Sprinkle one tablespoon of sugar and beat until stiff
peaks are formed. Using a rubber spatula, fold egg
whites into custard.

Set mixture over a bowl of ice and fold delicately with
spatula often while it is cooling to prevent separation.

Meanwhile, beat 1/2 cup heavy cream until doubled in
volume. Add creme de menthe. Fold into completely cold
custard.

Spoon over crust. Set in fridge to firm up.

Beat remaining 1 cup of heavy cream, tablespoon of
sugar, and vanilla until medium peaks form (not too
stiff or it will not pipe well). Pipe onto set pie and
top with peppermints.
