Ricettario d'Italia

In breve

The dish in short

  • Eggs, whole milk, sugar, unsweetened cocoa, dry amaretti and rum, baked over a layer of caramel.
  • Cocoa powder, never chocolate: the cocoa is what helps the bonet set.
  • The eggs are only mixed with the whisk, never whipped: beaten-in air leaves small holes.
  • Baked slowly in a water bath, then turned out so the caramel runs over the top, and eaten cold.
