I want my children to grow up confident.....to go into the kitchen without recipe and cook with the hearts and mouths. And I want them to think of me...as they stand and stir, shake and sift....... <br /> <br />I want them to remember me as the cook who knew no fear, who had tough love for eggs and dough and everything else. <br /> <br />This recipe is ALL me. It has the softness of fruit - my heart, the silkiness of cream, some crunch, and a hint of spice from the limes. This is a recipe were the whole is so, so much more than the sum of its parts. Like me....I like to think! <br /> <br />When I made it in 2010, I proclaimed it the tastiest thing I'd made then in terms of desserts. It was so good that I ate all 6 pots by myself. Thankfully, my husband was ill, craving Nigerian chicken soup so the floor was all mine, along with the calories! Though the recipe has a few steps, they are fairly easy and it can be made ahead.
