Macadamia Nut Cream Pie
1/2 cup sugar
4 tablespoon sifted cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups milk
4 egg yolks, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons Kahlua liqueur
3/4 cup chopped macadamia nuts
2 cups whipped cream
1 9-inch baked pie shell

Combine sugar, cornstarch and salt in top of a double boiler. Slowly add milk, stirring constantly. Place over gently boiling water and cook 10-15 minutes, stirring constantly until mixture thickens to a loose custard.
Blend 1/2 cup of the hot sugar mixture into the egg yolks, 1 tablespoon at a time. Slowly pour and beat the warm egg mixture back into the remaining sugar mixture. Continue cooking 3-5 minutes, until the custard is thick. Add butter; cool to room temperature.

Stir in the Kahlua and all but 1 tablespoon of the nuts. Fold in 1 cup whipped cream. Fill pie shell, garnish with remaining whipped cream and reserved nuts. Chill.
