Ingredients for 6 small glasses
For the candy apple petals:
Modì® apple peeled and cored | 1
Sugar | 3 tablespoons
Water | 3 tablespoons
For the custard:
Whole milk | 250 ml (8.45 ounces)
Fresh cream | 250 ml (8.45 ounces)
Egg yolks | 3
Brown sugar | 120g (4.23 ounces)
Cornflour (corn starch) | 40g (1.41 ounces)
Lemon peel q.s.
To decorate:
Sponge cake cubes q.s.
Preparation
Prepare the candy apple petals: Cut the Modì into segments and slice these very thinly.
Mix sugar and water in a non-stick pan, when a clear caramel is formed add the apple slices. Cook for a few minutes until the slices are soft and caramelized. Set aside.
Make the custard: Heat milk and cream with a piece of lemon peel. Whisk the yolk and sugar, add the starch and slowly thin the mixture down with the warm milk. Place the mixture on a stove and let the cream thicken stirring constantly (around two-three minutes from when it boils). Take out the peel and dust the surface of the cream with a touch of refined sugar to avoid a thin layer of film from forming. Leave to cool at room temperature.
Decorate: Distribute the apple petals at the bottom of 6 dessert glasses, cover them with the cream and decorate with crumbs of sponge cake. Refrigerate and serve cool.
