Snow Custard.
½ package of Coxe’s gelatine.
3 eggs.
2 cups of milk.
2 cups of sugar.
Juice of one lemon.
2 cups of boiling water.
Vanilla, or other essence.
Soak the gelatine one hour in a cup of cold water. Add then a pint of boiling water, and stir until the gelatine is dissolved. Put in two-thirds of the sugar and all the lemon-juice. Beat the whites of the eggs stiff, and when the gelatine is quite cold, whip it in, a spoonful at a time, for half an hour with the “Dover”—an hour, if you use the common egg-whisk. When all is a white sponge, put into a wet mould to form. Make a custard of the milk, yolks, and the reserved sugar, flavor as you like, and when the “snow” is turned out into a glass dish, pour this around the base. Prepare this dessert on Saturday, and keep in the refrigerator. It is very nice.
