The 'Bonet' is a typical Piedmontese dessert, mostly coming from the Langhe area.
It is a chocolate pudding made with amaretti biscuits, also typical of the Langhe area, and then covered or filled with caramel.
In Piedmontese restaurants you will find the best known version, chocolate, but in some rare occasions, especially in some small restaurants in the Langhe and Monferrato, you can still find the 'white' version, the original one that dates back even before the arrival of cocoa in the area.
The name Bonet seems to come from the word 'cappello' (hat), the shape of the mold in which the traditional pudding is prepared.
A dash of rum, eggs, milk and sugar are the ingredients which, together with amaretti biscuits, will create this splendid spoon dessert, perfect to end a delicious winter dinner.
