"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

Hubbard Squash-Almond Crisp

 

Ingredients

4 lb hubbard squash
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup brandy
2 tbsp sugar
1/2 cup slivered blanched almonds
3 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup brown sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
10 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup amaretti cookies, crushed
1 pt heavy cream, chilled



 

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400 F. Toast almonds and chop fine.

Halve the squash lenghwise, and remove seeds and fiber. Place squash,
cut side down, in a shallow baking dish large enough to hold the
squash in a single layer. Pour in the water. Bake, covered for 30
minutes. Remove dish from oven, turn squash over and cool. Use a
spoon to remove the flesh. Cut into 2-inch cubes. Place squash in a
bowl, drizzle with brandy, sprinkle with sugar and set aside for 30
minutes to macerate.

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar and cinnamon. Mix in
the butter, working with your fingers until the mixture holds
together and is crumbly. Stir in the chopped almonds and the crushed
amaretti cookies. Set aside.

Place squash and juice in a 12-inch round baking dish. Spread the
almond mixture evenly over them. Bake for 1 hour, or until the squash
is bubbling and the topping is golden brown. To serve, scoop hot
crisp into individual dessert bowls and drizzle with chilled heavy
cream.
