Servings: persons

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
5 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup cold water
1 tablespoon agar or 1 tablespoon kosher gelatin
1/2 cup sugar
3 egg whites
3 egg yolks
4 tablespoons brandy
4 tablespoons Creme de Cacao
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups whipping cream
1/2 cup chocolate curls

1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2
Mix the graham cracker crumbs with 2 tbsp sugar and butter in a bowl.
3
Press the crumb mixtures evenly into a 9 inch tart pan, covering bottom and sides. Bake 10 minutes. Cool.
4
Place the water in the top of a double boiler set over hot water. Sprinkle in gelatin or agar and let stand for 5 minutes to soften. Add half the sugar and egg yolks. Whisk continually over a low heat until the gelatin dissolves and the mixture thickens. Do not boil.
5
Remove from the heat and stir in the brandy.
6
Set the pan in ice water and stir until it cools and thickens. It should not set completely.
7
With an electric mixer, beat the salt and egg whites until they hold stiff peaks. Beat in the remaining sugar. Fold large dollops into the yolk mixture.
8
Whip the cream until soft peaks form, then gently fold into the filling. Spoon into the prebaked crust and chill until set, 3-4 hours. Decorate with chocolate curls immediately before serving.
