Dear Readers,
A number of years ago my husband gave me an interesting cookbook for Christmas entitled “Recipes 1-2-3” by Rozanne Gold. Ms. Gold contends that one can prepare “fabulous food using only three ingredients”. She does not count water, salt or pepper as ingredients. I decided to see if her premise was true by making the Cannoli Custard recipe. The result was delicious and I want to share the recipe with you. I will quote from her informative and interesting cookbook.
“Cannoli” Custard
(Clemenza, in the movie The Godfather, says “Leave the gun. Take the cannolis.” I say, keep the custard. Who needs the shells?”)
2 cups part-skim ricotta cheese
9 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
3/4 teaspoon rum extract
Gently whip the ricotta, sugar, and rum extract in the bowl of an electric mixer. Do not overblend. Divide equally among 3 or 4 martini glasses. Chill well. Sprinkle additional confectioners’ sugar, through a coarse sieve, over the top of custard just before serving. Serves 4.
Ms. Gold suggests some add-ons: Fold in 1/3 cup miniature chocolate chips or white raisins plumped in rum. Sprinkle crushed amaretti cookies or grated chocolate on top.
Enjoy and remember to always
Keep smilin’!
