The Minerbio pudding gets its name from a town a few kilometers from Bologna and is extremely creamy and decidedly delicious!

It’s a dessert by the spoon made with cream, eggs, amaretti, and coffee with the intriguing addition of liqueur of bitter almond which, fortunately, was in the pantry (my kitchen with attached pantry is full of ingredients and molds that would make a pastry shop envious!)

It’s extremely easy but needs to be cooked for a long time (for me 3 to 3 and a half hours) and it ABSOLUTELY requires a long resting period in the refrigerator, important characteristics because this way we can organize work well and have the Minerbio dessert by the spoon ready for our lunch/dinner/event.

The gastronomy of the Emilia Romagna region is decidedly inviting and rich, and this dessert that I had wanted to try for a long time is proof of it because it is extremely creamy and awakens the taste buds in a click!

Ingredients FOR MINERBIO PUDDING RECIPE

  • 3 eggs (medium)
  • 2.8 oz sugar (plus extra for caramel with a tablespoon of water)

Tools FOR MINERBIO PUDDING RECIPE

  • Loaf Pans
  • Whisks

FOR PREPARING THE MINERBIO PUDDING RECIPE

1) As I wrote above, the preparation of the Minerbio pudding recipe is super easy, so the first thing I do is roughly crush the amaretti, leaving them in a bowl.

2) In a second bowl, I mix with a whisk the eggs with the sugar, then add the fresh liquid cream, the cold espresso coffee, the bitter almond liqueur, and the crushed amaretti.

3) I mix the mixture very well and proceed to make the caramel for the loaf pan.

4) I confess that I caramelize the pan randomly without a defined recipe, putting sugar and a little water in the mold which I then place directly on the flame, taking great care to get a not too dark caramel and always using potholders or a cloth because caramel is extremely hot!

5) After spreading the caramel on the bottom and also on the walls, I pour all the mixture which will then cook in a water bath in the oven at 320°F for over 3 hours.

6) I confess that after 3 hours and a bit, having inserted a knife and finding that there were still some tiny pieces of the mixture, I left it another 10 minutes, then almost desperately turned it off!

7) I then let the Minerbio pudding cool for about 4 hours, and the result is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

8) So I feel I should tell you that after prolonged cooking, it is essential to let it cool very well before enjoying it!

Bon appétit!

Maybe we could reduce the amount of sugar to 50 grams because the cream and amaretti make the mixture sweet!
