Almond and Lady Finger Dessert |
|
Serves: 8 Print this Recipe(Postre de Almendra) Category: Other Desserts and Sweets Makes 8 small servings This old-fashioned sweet is one of the first Mexican desserts I made when I began to concentrate on Mexican cooking. It's rich and very sweet, but also very delicious. I learned it from Vicki Barrios, who once taught cooking classes in the San Francisco area in the mid-1970s. The dessert has Spanish influence with the flavor of Spanish sherry, but it's a home-style dessert in central Mexico. 1 cup slivered almonds 2 cups sugar 1 cup water 3/4 cup dry sherry, such as amontillado 1 dozen lady fingers, purchased, split lengthwise 6 large eggs yolks 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract Ground cinnamon (Mexican canela or Ceylon variety preferred) Organize all of your own recipes with the Cook'n Recipe Software. Watch and see how easy it is! 1. In a dry skillet, toast the almonds, stirring until lightly browned. Transfer to a plate to cool; then finely grind the nuts. There should be some texture. Reserve. 2. Put the sugar and water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook over medium heat 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the sherry. Reserve. 3. Arrange the lady fingers on an oval platter. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the sugar syrup over the lady fingers. Set aside. 4. In a medium bowl, thoroughly beat the egg yolks with a fork. Mix the reserved almonds into the yolks. Stir the egg mixture into the syrup in the saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture starts to thicken. Remove from the heat. Stir in vanilla and pour evenly over the lady fingers. Sprinkle lightly with cinnamon. Refrigerate about 2 hours or until cold. Serve in small dessert bowls. From "1,000 Mexican Recipes."
