When the preparation has cooked for twenty minutes take it from the
fire and add the remainder of the sugar and the cream, which should be
gradually beaten into the hot mixture. Set away to cool, and when cold,
freeze.
CHOCOLATE PUDDING.
For a small pudding use one pint of milk, two tablespoonfuls and a half
of corn-starch, one ounce of chocolate, two eggs, five tablespoonfuls
of powdered sugar, one-fourth of a teaspoonful of salt, and half a
teaspoonful of vanilla extract.
Mix the corn-starch with one gill of the milk. Put the remainder of
the milk on to boil in the double-boiler. Scrape the chocolate. When
the milk boils, add the corn-starch, salt, and chocolate, and cook
for ten minutes. Beat the yolks of the eggs with three tablespoonfuls
of the sugar. Pour the hot mixture on this and beat well. Turn into a
pudding-dish that will hold about a quart, and bake for twenty minutes
in a moderate oven.
Beat the whites of the eggs to a stiff, dry froth, and gradually beat
in the remaining two tablespoonfuls of sugar and the vanilla. Spread
this on the pudding and return to the oven. Cook for fifteen minutes
longer, but with the oven-door open. Serve either cold or hot.
BAVARIAN CHOCOLATE CREAM.
For one large mould of cream, use half a package of gelatine, one gill
of milk, two quarts of whipped cream, one gill of sugar, and one ounce
of chocolate.
Soak the gelatine in the cold water for two hours. Whip and drain the
cream, scrape the chocolate, and put the milk on to boil. Put the
chocolate, two tablespoonfuls of sugar, and one of hot water, in a
small saucepan, and stir on a hot fire until smooth and glossy. Stir
this into the hot milk. Now add the soaked gelatine and the remainder
of the sugar. Strain this mixture into a basin that will hold two
quarts or more. Place the basin in a pan of ice-water and stir until
the mixture is cold, when it will begin to thicken. Instantly begin to
stir in the whipped cream, adding half the amount at first. When all
the cream has been added, dip the mould in cold water and then turn the
cream into it. Place in the ice-chest for an hour or more.
At serving-time dip the mould in tepid water. See that the cream will
come from the sides of the mould, and turn out on a flat dish. Serve
with whipped cream.
