"I prefer to regard a dessert as I would imagine the perfect woman: subtle, a little bittersweet, not blowsy and extrovert. Delicately made up, not highly rouged. Holding back, not exposing everything and, of course, with a flavor that lasts."
Graham Kerr (the Galloping Gourmet)


"The dessert crowns the dinner. To create a fine dessert, one has to combine the skills of a confectioner, a decorator, a painter, an architect, an ice-cream manufacturer, a sculptor, and a florist. The splendour of such creations appeals above all to the eye - the real gourmand admires them without touching them! The magnificence of the dessert should not allow one to forget the cheese. Cheese complements a good dinner and supplements a bad one."
Eugene Briffault

Custard Cups With Strega

 

Ingredients

4 large eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp zest, lemon
2 1/2 cup milk, scalded
1/2 cup sugar
3 tbsp water
1/2 cup liqueur, strega



 

Preparation

Beat the eggs with the sugar and vanilla until froth and
lemon-colored.

Add the lemon zest and continue beating.

Add the milk, whisking all the while.

Boil the second half-cup of sugar with the water to make caramel
and pour into custard cups.

Add the whisked egg-and-milk mixture and place cups in a pan.
Fill the pan with enough water to come halfway to the top of the cups.

Bake at 350 F for 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out
clean when inserted into the center of the custards.

Unmold and serve with Strega.
