Scrape the chocolate very fine, and put it with the eggs and sugar; stir or beat until the mixture is complete, and add the cream by degrees. Pour into a milk boiler, and stir until the cream is thick enough to stick to the spoon; then pour the contents into an earthen dish, and set it in a very cold place. The boiling of the cream is of great im- portance, and requires particular attention, especially when no milk boiler is at hand, and the cream is boiled over an open fire. In this case, as soon as the cream begins to stick to the spoon, the pan must be immediately withdrawn. The flavoring should be added after the cream is boiled.
