Preparation
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine the flour, walnuts, brown sugar and cocoa.
Stir in butter. Lightly coat hands with cooking spray; press mixture
into an ungreased 9-in. pie plate. Bake at 375° for 8-10 minutes
or until set. Cool completely on a wire rack
For filling, in a small saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch. Stir
in eggnog until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes
or until thickened and bubbly. Remove from the heat; set aside.
Sprinkle gelatin over 1/4 cup cold water; let stand for 1 minute.
Microwave on high for 20 seconds. Stir and let stand for 1 minute or
until gelatin is completely dissolved. Stir into reserved eggnog
mixture.
Divide mixture in half. Combine cocoa and remaining water; stir into
one portion of eggnog mixture. Stir rum extract into the other
portion. Cover and refrigerate mixtures until partially set.
Fold whipped topping into rum-flavored filling; spoon into crust.
Gently spread chocolate filling over the top. Cover and refrigerate
for at least 2 hours before serving. Garnish with whipped topping
and nutmeg. Yield: 8 servings.
