Directions: |
Directions:Crust: Three or four days before you make the pie, buy the macaroons and let them dry out thoroughly. Then roll to fine crumbs. Mix the crumbs with soft butter. Press evenly into a 9" pie plate. Chill. Fill with fruit pudding and chill overnight. It is an advantage to get the dessert out of the way the day before a holiday.
Filling: Make a custard in the double boiler of the milk, eggs, sugar and salt, cooking and stirring until custard coats the spoon. Remove from heat. Soften gelatin in cold water and stir into hot custard. Stir until dissolved. Chill. Fold in whipped cream, pecans, marshmallows, pineapple and candied cherries. If fruit sinks to bottom, put pudding in refrigerator--stir now and then until it is beginning to set. Pour into pie shell. Chill overnight. Garnish with fluffs of whipped cream and chopped candied cherries. |
