Bake the empty pie crust at 400f for 15 minutes. Remove rice and foil and bake at 375f for 10 minutes more or until it is pale golden. In a bowl with an electric mixer, beat the egg yolks. Add the sugar gradually, beating until the mixture is thickened and pale. Beat in 1 cup of cream, rum, and 1/4 cup water. Transfer the mixture to the top of a double boiler. Cook, stirring constantly until it registers 140f on a candy thermometer. Then cook for 3 minutes more. In a small saucepan, sprinkle the gelatine over 1/4 cup cold water. Let it soften for 5 minutes, and heat the mixture over low heat, stirring, until the gelatin is dissolved. Whisk into the custard, set the bowl in a larger bowl of ice water and let the mixture cool, stirring it occasionally, until it is the consistency of raw egg whites. Do not let the mixture set. In a bowl, beat the remaining cream until it just holds stiff peaks. Fold the whipped cream into the custard gently but thoroughly. Pour the mixture into the pie shell. Chill for 3 hours or until set. Garnish with chocolate curls. a 1948 Gourmet Mag. favorite.
