"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

Ginger-Caramel Macadamia Pie

 

Ingredients

1 pie pastry (single crust) - for 9-i, nch diameter pie
1 1/2 cup macadamia nuts - (salted, roasted)
3 large eggs
1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 cup minced candied ginger
1 tbsp minced fresh ginger
1 tsp vanilla
1 vanilla ice cream (optional) or- sw, eetened whipped cr

WARM CHOCOLATE SAUCE

1 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup half-and-half (light cream)



 

Preparation

Fit pastry over bottom and press against sides of a plain or fluted
9-inch tart pan with removable bottom; fold any excess pastry down to
make flush with pan rim.

Pour nuts onto a towel and rub lightly to remove salt. Lift nuts from
towel and put in pastry.

In a bowl, beat to blend eggs, sugar, candied ginger, fresh ginger,
and vanilla. Pour evenly over nuts.

Bake on lowest rack of a 325 degree F oven until filling jiggles only
slightly when pie is gently shaken, about 40 minutes. Cool on a rack.
If making ahead, wrap airtight and chill up to a day. Offer warm
chocolate sauce to spoon onto wedges to taste; accompany with ice
cream. Makes 9 to 10 servings.

WARM CHOCOLATE SAUCE: In the top of a double boiler, combine chocolate

microwave-safe bowl and heat on full power -- 100 percent -- in a
microwave oven; stir at 1-minute intervals, until chocolate is
smoothly melted).

Use chocolate sauce warm; if making ahead, cover and chill up to 3
days. Reheat over simmering water or in a microwave oven. Pour into a
small pitcher. Makes
