placing the glass measure inside a larger bowl filled
with ice water. After stirring the mixture, stir in
the Galliano, brandy or Amaretto and the vanilla.
Adding these ingredients at this stage speeds the
cooling of the custard and helps prevent curdling. Be
sure to place clear plastic wrap directly on the
surface of the custard befroe it is refrigerated.
Covering the surface will prevent a "skin" from
forming on the top of the custard sauce.
