Ingredients
- 2 cup whole milk
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 4 eggs
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup amaretti cookies
- 1 tbsp white rum
Caramel
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 3 tbsp water
- 1 tbsp honey
Instructions
- In a heavy-bottomed pot, combine the sugar, water and honey and bring to a boil over medium-high heat (3-5 minutes). Cook but do not stir, until the mixture turns golden (1-2 minutes). Gently swirl the pot until it is golden (1-2 minutes). Remove from heat and swirl the pan until the sugar mixture is reddish-amber and fragrant (15-20 seconds). Swirl in 2 tablespoons of hot water and pour into one big mold, in single-serve silicone molds, or in ceramic ramekins.
- Heat the milk until it boils.
- In a bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy, add the cocoa powder, and stir in the crumbled amaretti cookies.
- Add the rum and the warm milk, stir slowly.
- Then, pour the mixture into the molds.
- Pre-heat the oven to 300°F (150°C) and prepare the water bath by lining the bottom of a 9” by 13-inch baking pan with a tea towel fitting smoothly. Once the baking pan with molds are in the oven, fill the baking pan, using a tea kettle, with roughly 2 quarts of boiling water until the water reaches halfway up the baking pan.
- Bake them for about 40-45 minutes. If you use single-serve molds, reduce the cooking time to 25-30 minutes.
- Test if the bonet is evenly cooked by inserting a toothpick into the middle, which should come out clean. If it is not so, continue baking for a few more minutes or until the custard jiggles slightly.
- Set it aside to cool. Once cooled, run a paring knife around the edge of the mold; place a serving dish on top of the mold and turn it upside down with a rapid movement. Choose a serving dish with sides because the liquid caramel will run out. This is a typical rich sauce which greatly enhances the flavor of this treat.
- Garnish it with a little whipped cream and a generous handful of crumbled amaretti cookies.
