FROZEN BRANDY ALEXANDER PIE
A responsible parent would say to keep this from the kids....My friend makes this every year for her non sweet eating sister's birthday- that it was her absolute favorite thing. That is pretty high praise, so I had to make it. Once you try it, you will make it often. It has a marvelous texture due to the alcohol- it doesn't freeze as hard as regular ice cream. I think it would also be good with a chocolate crumb crust.

This recipe was originally published in 1970, in an article in the New York Times by Craig Claiborne and Pierre Franey. I do not use the food coloring, but feel free to color the pie to your liking. "Cooking time" is refrigeration time. When I was submitting this recipe, Food.com made me specify an amount for the gelatin - it would not let me enter "one envelope" - just know that one envelope is the correct amount of gelatin.
