Serve the charlotte sprinkled with brown sugar and flambéed with the Holland gin. On the side, serve a caramel sauce made with brown sugar and a little water. You can decorate the charlotte as desired (before flambéing it) with whipped cream, coffee beans, etc.

1. Make a crème anglaise with the 3 eggs and 125 g sugar: whisk until light and pale, blend in the hot milk, mix well and return to the heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens; do not allow it to boil; 
2. soften the 3 sheets of gelatin in cold water; blend them into the crème anglaise; pour the mixture into two bowls, equally divided. To one, add the coffee; to the other, the chicory. Cool, stirring occasionally. 
3. Whip the cream and fold half into each mixture.
