Ingredients:
Four 8 ounce ramekins
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
2 eggs
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon Irish whiskey
12 Donsuemor Traditional Madeleines
1/4 cup raisins
2 tablespoons chopped candied ginger
Butter

1. Grease each ramekin with butter thoroughly, set aside.
2. In a clean mixing bowl, combine sugar, spices, eggs, vanilla and whiskey. Whisk until combined, whisk in the cream until incorporated.
3. In each ramekin, layer 3 Traditional madeleines, scatter in raisins and ginger, and then distribute egg mixture evenly amongst ramekins.
4. Allow to soak overnight in the refrigerator. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350°.
5. Bake 350° for about 30 minutes, or until golden and firm. Remove from oven, set aside until cool enough to eat, about 20 minutes.

1. Combine milk and cream in heavy medium saucepan. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean; add bean. Bring milk mixture to simmer. Remove from heat.
2. Whisk egg yolks and sugar in medium bowl to blend. Slowly whisk hot milk mixture into yolk mixture. Return custard to saucepan.
3. Stir over low heat until custard thickens and leaves path on back of spoon when finger is drawn across, about 5 minutes (do not boil).
4. Strain sauce into small pitcher or bowl. Serve warm with bread pudding.

Ingredients:
12 Donsuemor French Almond Cakes
2 tablespoons melted butter

1. Pulse the French Almond Cakes in a food processor. Pulse until they resemble bread crumbs. Add the melted butter and pulse again.
2. Use an ice cream scoop and add the almond cake mixture to the mason jar. Use the back of a spoon and press the crumbs down. Put the jars in a 9×13 baking dish. Bake in a preheated 350° oven for 8 minutes.
3. Add the cream cheese and sugar to the bowl of a food processor. Run until smooth. Scrape the sides and bottom and run again. Add the egg, lemon, sour cream, vanilla, almond extract and salt.
4. Pour the cheesecake batter over the baked crust. Boil a kettle of water. Take one of the jars out, and pour boiling water halfway up the sides of the jars. Add the jar back to the pan, this helps not get water into the cheesecakes.
5. Bake the cheesecakes for 25 to 30 minutes. The edges should be set, but still have a little jiggle.
6. Cool completely and chill in the refrigerator overnight. Garnish with whipped cream, a single raspberry, and sliced almonds.

Servings: 6 shortcakes

1. Preheat oven at 300°
2. Cut the top part of the Madeleines and set the Madeleines in oven for 10 to 15 minutes. They need to dry a little, but be careful not to brown them.
3. In the meantime, prepare the cream in a bowl. Mix the Dulce de Leche and almond butter.
4. Once the madeleines are dried, spread the cream over each madeleine. A set of two madeleines will be used for one shortcake.
5. Add approximately 7-8 raspberries on one of the cream-covered madeleines, sprinkle a few lemon drops, and cover with the other madeleine. It is best to let the madeleines absorb some of the cream for a couple of hours before serving.

1. Bring the milk to a boil in a small saucepan.
2. In a medium sized saucepan, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch until it is well combined and thick. Continue to whisk while you pour in 1/4 cup of the hot milk (you are tempering the eggs).
3. Pour in the remainder of the milk while constantly whisking. Place the pan over medium heat, and continue to whisk while the mixture comes to a boil. Continue at a boil while still whisking for another 1 to 2 minutes and then remove from heat.
4. Whisk in the vanilla extract or paste and let the cream sit for about 5 minutes before whisking in the bits of butter. Stir until the butter bits are fully incorporated and the cream is shiny and smooth.
5. Transfer the cream to a bowl and place a piece of plastic wrap directly on top of the cream to prevent a skin from forming. Place in refrigerator until the cream has completely cooled.

1. Cut stems off of strawberries.  With the cut side down, cut a deep ‘x’ into the tip of the strawberry, being careful not to cut all the way through the strawberry. Spread the end slightly.
2. Using a pastry bag with any type of medium sized start tip, pipe pastry cream around the top of the financier in a circle. Place a strawberry on top of the pastry cream, then place the tip of the pastry bag inside of the strawberry and fill with pastry cream.
3. For best appearance, serve  as soon as they are prepared, but they can be stored in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve them.

Servings: 4

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. In a medium pot over medium heat, combine heavy cream, milk, and vanilla. Bring to a low boil and turn off heat. Set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk egg yolk and 1/2 cup sugar for 1 to 2 minutes until the sugar is well incorporated into the eggs and the mixture is thick.
3. Add the liqueur to the heated milk and stir to combine.
4. Slowly, add 1 cup of the milk mixture to the egg mixture and stir. Repeat until all of the milk mixture is mixed into the egg and sugar.
5. Here is where you have options. Crème Brûlée is traditionally served in shallow  Crème Brûlée dish but I’m feeling far from traditional today and for this purpose using a variety of oven proof dishes, including espresso cups, for the fun of it. This recipe will allow for 4 servings of crème that measure 1/2 cup each.
6. If you are using a traditional shallow crème brûlée dish, slice 1 Donsuemor Madeleine in half and press hard into the bottom of the dish forming a crust. If you are using a ramekin or any other oven safe dish, prop a Donsuemor Madeleine against the side of the ramekin. You may also slice it in half but I found it makes a nicer presentation if left whole.
7. Ladle the crème into the ramekins and fill until about 1/2 inch from the top.
8. Place the ramekins on an oven safe dish. I line mine with a tea towel to prevent the ramekins from slipping. Pour hot water into the dish until the water reaches halfway up the ramekins. Place in the oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the crème is set. It will appear a little jiggly. Remove from the oven and place in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours. This can be done up to one day ahead of serving.
9. Remove from the refrigerator and allow to set at room temperature for 30 minutes.
10. Sprinkle about 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons of sugar onto the top of the crème. With a kitchen torch, gently caramelize the sugar until it browns and bubbles. Serve when the bubbles subside, about 1 to 2 minutes.
11. If you don’t have a torch you can use your broiler. For broiler caramelization: preheat the broiler. Place the ramekins on a baking dish with ice. Place the dish under the broiler and stand guard. It might take minutes or seconds for the sugar to caramelize. Remove when the sugar has browned.
