Holiday Rum Torte

Submitted by Steve P.

"Easy and delicious No-Bake Holiday Holiday treat. Note: One reviewer pointed out she was worried about the use of raw egg. Personally I believe the alcohol (rum) in the recipe will take care of that. The experts are split on that, many say eggnog with for example with alcohol in it is perfectly safe and people have been doing it for years. Others are not sure. If it bothers you there is no reason why you can't substitute the cartons of pasteurized egg such as "egg beaters" in the refrigerated section of the supermarket. That will solve the problem nicely. If you do I suggest the original version not the new whites only. I also heard some places sell pasteurized in shell eggs now, though I have not seen them. BTW another suggestion if you want to use whole eggs and are worried, I have not tried doing this, but I think once the whole mixture is combined you should be able to heat it on the stove without the eggs scrambling. That would also solve your worries. Just don't do too long or you will also boil off all the alcohol and change the flavor."

This sounded really good-until I realized the recipe contains raw eggs. If there was a way to make this without raw eggs I'd be interested to try this.
