Low-Fat Chocolate Amaretto Custard (6 PTS)

Serves: 8 people

Recipe Ingredients

3/4 cup 148g / 5.2ozSugar for caramelizing
1 tablespoon 15mlWater
8   Eggs
2/3 cup 131g / 4.6ozSugar
1 1/2 tablespoons 22mlUnsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 tablespoon 7.5mlGround espresso
2 cups 474mlMilk
200   Amaretti cookies - very finely crushed
  (1 1/4 cups)

Recipe Instructions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Put the 3/4 cup sugar in a small saucepan and place over moderate heat. Cook

until sugar dissolves and turns a rich golden-brown, gently swirling skillet

as necessary to dissolve sugar (don't stir). Add water and stir until

incorporated. Pour caramel into an 8-inch round baking dish or pan.

Beat the eggs with the sugar until light. Stir in cocoa, espresso, milk and

crushed cookies, in that order. Pour mixture into baking dish. Cover with

foil. Bake about 50 minutes. The custard should crack in the middle when

done -- this is OK. Cool completely. If there is time, cover and refrigerate

at least 8 hours.

Before serving, bring to cool-room temperature; then unmold onto a large

plate.
