Description
For the lazy (like me): Of course, it’s better to beat the yolks and whites separately, but for the sake of saving time and effort, you can do it together — it’s not a big deal. However, if you beat them separately, it will turn out very fluffy. If you suddenly have no wine, rum, or cognac at home, you can even add vodka (don’t ask why:). The pie turns out almost unsweetened; those who like such things will love this recipe. And if you want, you can add various flavors to the cream while cooking: cinnamon, vanilla, honey, cloves... This is a family recipe from my friend’s family — I added it to my collection. I hope you will like it too!
