I think I have mentioned before that I own over 300 cookbooks. I especially love the ones that were published by companies to promote their products, such as The Dessert Lovers’ Handbook from Eagle Brand. It does not have a publication date, but the design looks as if it is from the late ’60s or early ’70s.
A dear friend recently gave me the lovely pots de creme set shown above and I wanted to put it to use. After looking at a bunch of recipes, I landed back on my old favorite from Eagle Brand milk.
This is an easy and delicious recipe. It was just the thing for my new dishes. It is very rich, so the small size of the cups is a good thing. I added whipped cream.
