If I was serving it to company, I'd make the sauces. Nice flavor, But tomorrow, I'll have some chilled.Īnd while Lebovitz recommended a couple sauces to serve it with, I went old school and sprinkled on a bit of cinnamon. I tasted it hot out of the pot, and I tasted it while it was chilling but still warm. Okay, here's where I'm going off track again.
The recipe suggests serving warm or at room temperature. Remove the vanilla bean (you can rinse and dry it if you want to save it for other uses). But I forged ahead anyway, sure that leaving out the raisins was not as big a sin as substituting random ingredients with no regard what it would do to the structure of the finished product.Īdapted from Ready for Dessert by David Lebovitz So yeah, I was feeling hands on my shoulders, and hearing a voice chiding me about the raisins. I always want to reach through my computer screen, grab hold of their shoulders, and say, "But I worked so hard to develop this recipe. The most common are from folks who want to substitute ingredients. One of the pitfalls of having a blog is that you leave yourself open to all sorts of questions. The second problem was that something Lebovitz said in the intro to the Irish Coffee Cupcakes was nagging at me: So if I left the raisins out, the rum flavor was out, too. The first problem was that the raisins were cooked in a bit of rum, and the raisins and the rum went into the pudding. So I decided that I'd make the recipe sans raisins. But no one's gonna do that, so there's no sense putting them in just to throw them away. Now, if someone else in this house would eat the raisins for me, I'd pick them out. But there's no way I'm willingly putting raisins into food that I'm cooking and that I'm going to eat. Okay, maybe if it would offend a foreign dignitary at a state dinner, I might find a way to choke down an oatmeal raisin cookie. I don't think that's unreasonable for an adult to refuse to eat two things, right? There are only two things I refuse to eat. Give me liver, beets, broccoli or any of the other myriad things that people often don't like, and I'm perfectly happy. I love rice pudding, but I haven't had it in a long time. But the downfall? Sigh. Irish Coffee Cupcakes sounded really good. But I've got strawberry ice cream in the freezer, so I don't really need a gelato in there too. I stopped briefly at the chocolate gelato.
Because I had a lot of milk on hand, and the next delivery would be here before this was gone. And it would be a double-plus if it would use up a lot of milk. It would be a plus if it didn't require a trip to the store. The ingredients had to be readily available, so no persimmons or passion fruit or anything else the grocery store was unlikely to stock. But what? My criteria was pretty minimal. I was paging through Ready for Dessert and thinking that I was really was ready to make something for dessert.
