The custard is a fairly simple sweet and very diffuse, it is prepared with egg yolks, milk or cream, and sugar; each culture has a different variation of this dish and even a different name, in Italy is called Crema pasticcera in Spain Is called Natilla, in France is called Crème anglaise…  It is not entirely clear the origin of this dish, although one of the most diffuse theories is that it was born in a monastery in central Europe.

The version I present today is much lighter than the classic custard and very original. The consistency of the custard with the fresh taste of ACE makes this dessert unique. It is a perfect choice for both breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

The story of the Brownies is interesting: it seems that, like the Tart Tatin, they were born by a mistake, when an American baker forgot to add yeast to a sponge cake. The result was a compact and tasty cake, which is now much appreciated. A few weeks ago, Erika, an FMD colleague, asked me if I had a recipe for Brownies and, after a long reflection, today I propose this recipe, super healthy but with all the flavor of the authentic brownie.
