How To Make peppermint pie / w chocolate butter fluff topping

Step 1

Sprinkle gelatin over cold water. Stir to dissolve. Combine egg yolks and milk and cook and stir over low heat until mixture coats a metal spoon. Pour over gelatin mixture. Add candy; stir until dissolved. Chill. When slightly thickened, fold in whipped cream and coloring. Beat egg white until foamy, then add sugar gradually, beating until peaks hold. Fold in gelatin mixture. Spoon into pie shell; chill until firm. Spread chocolate butter fluff on top and chill again.

Step 2

Chocolate Butter Fluff Topping: Cream butter thoroughly. Add sugar gradually; beat until light and fluffy. Add chocolate, vanilla. Beat for 3 minutes until smooth. Fold in Cool Whip blending until smooth and thick. Spread on chilled pie and refrigerate until set.
