Temptation in a Cup: Pia Dailo's Delicate Brazo Cups

I've had a thing for Brazo de Mercedes for years. With its classic light and velvety smooth meringue made from fluffy egg whites and indulgently sweet yellow custard center made from egg yolks, what's not to love? Pia Dailo's Brazo Cups will make you fall in love all over again with Mercedes' tempting arms...

Pia Dailo transforms the traditional rolled cake of soft meringue with sweet custard into dainty cups of pure indulgence. It's just one of many tempting offerings from Pia Dailo, and it's one dessert you can't keep at arm's length for long... 

The new Brazo Cups by Pia Dailo is a refreshing reinterpretation of the much loved classic. Think of it as a Brazo de Mercedes with a cool spin in tune with contemporary times (for more on Pia Dailo's decadent cupcake creations, see my earlier post, Cupcake Love: Chocolate Coffee Cupcake by Pia Dailo).

Capped by a lightly torched caramelized top revealing the sweet yellow custard, Pia Dailo's Brazo Cups are temptingly eye-catching. The traditional "arm of our Lady of Mercy," or Mercedes' arm, never looked better. Filled in individual cups, digging deep into each cup with a spoon just brings back so many fond and nostalgic memories of countless childhood summers. Just ring Pia up (see contact numbers below) for a Half-Dozen (P 220) or just be true to yourself and order up a full Dozen (P 400) and enjoy.

 Down to two...

...then there was one. Once you start, putting down that spoon becomes the last thing on your mind.

Arm of the Lady of Mercy, Mercedes' arms, Brazo de Mercedes...Brazo Cups. Pia Dailo does it again, reviving a classic dessert into a modern favorite.
