   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.
