Frozen Maple Mousse Pie With Chocolate Maple Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix crumbs with 1/4 cup maple sugar, the salt and the butter. Press into bottom and sides of a 10-inch pie plate. Refrigerate 15 minutes. Bake chilled crust 10 minutes, cool to room temperature, then place in freezer.
• Beat egg whites until frothy. Place all but a tablespoon of remaining maple sugar in a saucepan, add 1/4 cup water, bring to a boil and cook until mixture is 237 degrees on a candy thermometer. Continue beating egg whites until softly peaked. Then, beating all the while, drizzle in all the maple sugar mixture and beat until egg whites are firm and glossy. Beat in 4 tablespoons maple syrup. Refrigerate.
• Whip cream until stiff. Fold into egg white mixture. Refrigerate separately until cookie crust is cold. Spoon mousse in prepared cookie crust, smooth top and freeze 4 hours. When frozen, cover with plastic wrap until ready to serve.
• Melt chocolate on low heat. Whisk in remaining maple syrup and vanilla. Place in a container, cover and refrigerate.
• Do not thaw pie for serving. Dust top with remaining tablespoon maple sugar and serve. Spoon some chocolate sauce over each portion.

Steps:

• Add 2 inches of water in a medium saucepan; bring the water to a bare simmer.
• Whisk the egg yolks and maple syrup together in a medium stainless steel bowl and place the bowl over the simmering water, making sure that the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water.
• Heat the egg/maple mixture, whisking constantly, until it registers 160° on an instant-read thermometer.
• Remove the bowl from the pan; using an electric mixer, beat the egg/maple mixture for about 5 minutes or until it is cool and thick; stir in the rum.
• In another medium mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, using an electric mixer, until soft peaks form.
• Gently fold the whipped cream into the egg/maple mixture.
• Scrape the filling into the prepared pie crust.
• Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate until the filling is completely set (at least 6 hours and up to 1 day)--I don't know why this pie is called frozen.
