Claret Cream CREAMS Cranberry Cream Another way : — Allow enough new milk to fill ten small cups ; set it on to boil, and, having mixed in half a pint of milk 2 ozs. of grated chocolate, add it to the boiling milk. Just before it comes off the fire pour in the yolks of six eggs, beaten and mixed in a little milk, and Yz lb. of white sugar. When cool, mix in the beaten whites of the eggs and a small quantity of vanilla boiled in milk. Fill the cups nearly full, place them in water, and boil half an hour. Serve cold. Another way : — One quart of milk, four table - spoonfuls of sugar, two table-spoonfuls of corn-starch, % lb. of chocolate, a little vanilla, two eggs. Let the milk get very hot, but not boiling. Smooth the corn- starch with cold milk. Beat eggs and sugar together; grate the choco- late, and dissolve it with hot milk. First stir in the corn-starch, then the sugar and chocolate, and let it boil until it thickens, which will be in a few moments. Stir all the time, and after it is taken off still stir it until it begins to cool. This makes it very smooth. Add three tea- spoonfuls of vanilla. Pour it into the dish in which it will be served at the table, and put it on the ice. It is very nice frozen. Claret Cream. — Pour a pint of claret jelly into a border mould, and set to harden.
