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 two and a half ounces of Walter Baker & Co.'s Chocolate.
Soak the gelatine in 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 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 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.
