Nesselrode Pie.
1 stick or 1/2 packet of pie crust mix
4 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups milk
6 egg yolks, slightly beaten
1 bar (4 ounces) sweet cooking chocolate, grated
1 teaspoon vanilla

3 cups chilled whipping cream
Preparations: Prepare 9-inch Baked Pie Shell as directed on package. In medium saucepan, mix gelatin, sugar, cornstarch, salt, milk and egg yolks. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. Boil and stir 1 minute. Pour 1 1/2 cups of the hot mixture into bowl; set aside and cool.
Reserve 2 tablespoons of the chocolate for topping; blend remaining chocolate and the vanilla into hot mixture in saucepan. Cool completely.

Loosen edge of Nesselrode layer; invert layer on chocolate filling. In chilled bowl, beat remaining cream until stiff. Spread over pie, covering completely; sprinkle with reserved chocolate. Serve immediately.

I was not familiar with nesselrode, so I had to Google it. It is chestnut puree. Wonder if my local grocery store has that?

Wow this is a blast from the past. I remember the name, Nesslerode pie, from an episode of the Dick Van Dyke Show many, many years ago! I just may give this a try.
