This recipe is per a board request for this Hawaiian treat. The recipe originates from a recipe from the Residential Services Division Organization: Hawaiian Electric Company Ingredients:
1 1/3 cups milk |
3/4 cup sugar |
1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts |
1 dash salt |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1 whole egg |
5 teaspoons cornstarch |
2 egg whites |
1 9-inch baked pie crust |
1 cup heavy cream, whipped |
Directions:
1. In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of the milk, 1/4 cup of the sugar, 1/4 cup of the nuts, the salt and the vanilla; scald.
2. Mix the remaining 1/3 cup milk with 1 whole egg and cornstarch.
3. Thoroughly stir some of hot mixture into egg mixture (adding a small amount first to even out the temperature helps to prevent the egg from scrambling when added to the rest of the hot mixture); return all to saucepan.
4. Cook 5 more minutes, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens.
5. Cool 1 hour.
6. Beat egg whites until soft peaks form; fold carefully into cooled mixture.
7. Pour into pie shell; chill.
8. Before serving, top with sweetened whipped cream and remaining 1/4 cup nuts.
