Kiwi Cream Pie

Studentchef's Note:

For Zaar World Tour 5. This is for the Australia/New Zealand region and comes from the Avon International cookbook. I have made this recipe numerous pies and one of my other recipes has been inspired from this recipe. There is barely any cooking involved, but there are several hours of chill time which will be used as cooking time.

1. In a mixing bowl combine crushed vanilla wafers, cinnamon, and melted butter or margarine. Press into a 9 inch pie plate to form a firm, even crust. Chill the crust for 1 hour.
2. In the meantime, in a small saucepan soften gelatin in cold water, then cook and stir over medium heat until gelatin is dissolved. Cool completely.
