One teacupful grated chocolate, one pint warm water. Boil together. Then add one pint sweet milk and let come to a boil. Add two heaping tablespoonfuls of corn starch, dissolved in none-half cup of milk, sweeten to taste and when cool flavor with vanilla. Beat the whites of two eggs and a pinch of pulverized sugar to a very light froth, and pile on top.
BAVARIAN CREAM.
From MRS. ALICE J. WHALEN, of Utah Territory, Lady Manager.
One-half box gelatine, one-half cup cold water, one pint cream, one pint milk, four eggs (yolks), one-half cup sugar, one-half teaspoonful salt, one teaspoonful vanilla, one tablespoonful wine. Soak the gelatine in cold water till soft. Chill and whip the cream till you have three pints. Keep the whipped cream on ice, and boil the remainder of the cream, adding enough milk to make a pint in all. Beat the yolks of the eggs, and add the sugar and salt. Pour the boiling milk on the eggs, and when well mixed put back in the double boiler and cook about two minutes, or just enough to scald the egg. Stir constantly, add the soaked gelatine, and strain at once into a pan set in ice water. When cool, add the vanilla and wine. Stir until it begins to harden, then stir in quickly the whipped cream, and when nearly stiff enough to drop, pour into moulds wet in cold water.
