Low-Fat Chocolate Amaretto Custard (6 PTS)

Recipe Ingredients

3/4 cup	148g / 5.2oz	Sugar for caramelizing
1 tablespoon	15ml	Water
8		Eggs
2/3 cup	131g / 4.6oz	Sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons	22ml	Unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 tablespoon	7.5ml	Ground espresso
2 cups	474ml	Milk
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.
