Preparation

What You Need

1/4 cup (60 ml) raisins

1/4 cup (60 ml) rum or

1 1/2 tsp (7 ml) rum extract in 1/4 cup (60 mL) water

1 1/4 cups (310 ml) graham cracker crumbs

1/4 cup (60 ml) sugar

1/3 cup (80 ml) butter, melted

3 eggs, separated

2 cups (500 ml) milk

2 envelopes unflavoured gelatin

1 tbsp (15 ml) instant coffee granules

3 oz (90 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

8 oz (250 g) Canadian Cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup (125 ml) sugar

Instructions

Soak raisins in rum or rum extract; set aside.

Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar and butter; press firmly into base of a 9-in (23 cm) springform pan; refrigerate.

Beat together egg yolks and milk; sprinkle in gelatin and whisk to combine. Stir constantly over low heat until gelatin dissolves and mixture thickens, about 5-10 min. Add coffee and chocolate chips; continue stirring over low heat until melted and smooth; remove from heat.

Beat Cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy; gradually beat in gelatin mixture, raisins and rum. Chill until mixture mounds slightly when dropped from a spoon.

Beat egg whites until stiff but not dry; fold into gelatin mixture. Pour into springform pan; chill until set, about 2 to 3 hours.

When set, decorate with chocolate curls and sprinkle with icing sugar, if desired.
