dessert recipe
On the Star Princess, one luncheon we had a dessert we really enjoyed.
I asked its name, and the waiter said it was something like "Balacutta or Ballacutta." The dessert is about the consistency of jello, but pure white and has a milky flavor. The waiter said it had no gelatin in it, but was just made from milk, eggs and sugar. I've tried Googling for the recipe, but obviously have an incorrect spelling of the word and cannot come up with an alternative that generates a hit. Do any of you all possibly know the correct name or better yet, of a recipe? -- Nonny Nonnymus Never believe a person who is Drunk, Horny or Running for Office. |

That sounds like a normal plain custard.

PANNA COTTA That is most probably the dessert you ate on the Star Princess, Mr. Nonny. I recognized your description when you wrote that it was "pure white". Panna cotta does not have egg in it. It is Italian....and the name translates to "cooked cream". And, that is what it is, cream and sugar cooked with a slight bit of gelatin as a thickener, etc. I am sure you will be able to find recipes for Panna Cotta now that you have the correct name and spelling. It is one of the easiest desserts to make, and it is especially luscious with some sliced fresh fruit on top, such as crushed fresh sweetened strawberries or sliced mango and raspberries. If you can't find a recipe, I'll be happy to post to you .....but, I'm sure you will find a gazillion here on the web or in any Italian cookbook. ANGELICA |

Hey Tom,
Do you maybe mean Tembleque? They serve it in Puerto Rico. If so... 1-1/2 Cup Coconut Milk 1/7 Teaspoon Salt 1/4 Cup Sugar 1/5 Cup Cornstarch Ground Cinnamon In a saucepan, combine coconut milk, salt, sugar and cornstarch. Cook over medium to high heat until a soft consistency is reached, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon to avoid lumps. Lower heat and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring the mixture occasionally. Pour mixture into a 1-liter square aluminum mold. Let mixture cool and refrigerate for 1-1/2 hours. Sprinkle powdered cinnamon over the chilled tembleque. Cut in sections and serve. --Tom "Nonnymus" wrote in message news On the Star Princess, one luncheon we had a dessert we really enjoyed.

Hi Nonny
Barb says that dessert was probably Blank Mange (French for "White food, or something like that). She will send you the recipe privately. She's having trouble posting to rtc for some reason.

I was pretty sure I'd written the name down phonetically correct, but my little hearing problem may have munged things. The fellow did mention eggs, however, but he might have been mistaken. -- Nonny Nonnymus Never believe a person who is Drunk, Horny or Running for Office. |

One possibility for what you are writing as Ballacutta might be Bella Cotta or maybe Bella Ricotta, the latter translating as beautiful or good Ricotta cheese. But I don't know if that's correct. -- ________ To email me, Edit "blog" from my email address. Brian M. Kochera "Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once!"
