Directions:
To prepare cookie-crumb crust: Crush cookies in covered blender
container on high speed until you have 1/2 cup. (Sugar-free dietetic
cookies may be substituted.) Blend crumbs and soft butter; press onto
the sides and bottom of an 8-inch pie pan. Chill well before serving.
To prepare filling: Sprinkle gelatin over cold water to soften. Beat
egg yolks well in the top of a double boiler over hot water. Beat in hot
coffee a little at a time. Cook over hot water, stirring freqauently,
until mixture is slightly thickened (don't overcook or it will
separate). Then stir in softened gelatin until dissolved. Remove from
heat and stir in sugar substitute, cinnamon, and vanilla. Set aside
until cool.
Meanwhile, add a pinch of salt to the egg whites. Beat with electric
mixer in a nonplastic bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in
sugar until thick. Gently but thoroughly fold in the coffee mixture.
Spoon into the pie shell and chill 5 hours or more.
