Soak a third of a box of gelatine in a very little cold water. Put a cup
and a half of milk in a saucepan with four ounces of sweet, fine
chocolate grated, let it boil until dissolved and add a slightly heaping
tablespoonful of sugar. Take two-thirds of the soaked gelatine and put
into the chocolate when melted, cool the mixture and turn into a mould,
roll the mould from side to side in the hands until it is thoroughly
coated with the mixture about a finger thick. When cold, even off the
surface with a knife. Whip about half a pint of nice, rich cream,
sweeten with powdered sugar and flavor with vanilla. Melt the other
third of the soaked gelatine in a little boiling water and stir quickly
into the cream and fill the chocolate with it. Set on the ice. Serve
very cold.
CHOCOLATE CUSTARD.
Put a pint and a half of rich milk into a double boiler over the fire
with the third of a vanilla bean split and cut in small pieces, let it
come to a boil, and stir in two ounces of fine, sweet chocolate grated
and a lump of butter the size of a walnut. Let it boil for a few
moments, remove from the fire and beat very light four eggs, strain the
chocolate gradually over them, stirring all the time, add a little salt,
and sugar if necessary. Rinse a plain mould in cold water, pour the
custard into it, set the mould in a pan of hot water and bake
twenty-five minutes. Test with a knife. Too long cooking makes the
custard watery. It must be served ice cold and may be prepared the day
before. Serve with cream or soft boiled custard.
CHOCOLATE PUDDING.
Beat one-quarter of a pound of butter to a cream and stir in six egg
yolks, one at a time, then add a quarter of a pound of fine, sweet
chocolate grated, a cup of almonds blanched and chopped fine, six
tablespoonfuls of granulated sugar and one tablespoonful of citron cut
very fine, beat the six whites of eggs to a stiff froth and stir in at
the last. Pour into a mould and boil three-quarters of an hour and send
to the table hot with whipped cream poured around it, or any fine sauce
served in a sauceboat.
COTTAGE PUDDING.
One cup of granulated sugar, a cup and a half of flour sifted, half a
cup of milk, a heaping tablespoonful of butter, two eggs, whites and
yolks beaten separately, a teaspoonful of Cleveland's baking powder
mixed with the flour. Beat butter and sugar to a cream, add the
well-beaten yolks of the eggs, then add milk and flour alternately by
degrees, and the whites of eggs beaten to a stiff froth, stirred in at
the last. Bake half an hour. Serve hot with plenty of sauce.
