Coffee Cheese. — Boil J pint of cream and 1 pint of milk to- gether, and add a small lump of sugar and 1 pinch of salt. Boast 4oz. of Coffee-beans, put them while hot in with the cream and milk, cover the stewpan, and infuse till quite cold. When cold, mix J pint of cream with it, put it all in a basin packed in ice, and whip till the cream begins to thicken ; then add Joz. of isinglass dissolved with 2 table-spoonfuls of caster sugar in 1 teacupful of water, and beat again until it is very thick. Put in a mould, surround with ice, and let it freeze. Coffee Cream. — (1) Boil 1 pint of milk and cream together, and add a small lump of sugar and 1 pinch of salt. Boast 4oz. of green Coffee-berries in a frying-pan, put the beans while hot in with the cream, place the cover on the stewpan, and let them steep till qLiite cold. Beat the yolks of four eggs in with the cream, strain it twice through a cloth, fill some break- fast-cups with it, and stand these in a large stewpan containing enough water to reach to half their height ; put on the lid and a few live coals on the top of that, and let the water simmer. When the cream is set, let it get cold, and then turn it out of the cups. (2) Boast Jib. of Coffee-berries over the fire in a preserving- pan, shaking frequently ; when they are well browned throw them into 1 pint of boiling cream ; cover this over with the lid and set it aside for the infusion to draw. Strain it through fine linen into a stewpan, add caster sugar to taste, and_six yolks of eggs ; stir the whole upon the fire until it thickens. Drop in l joz. of fine isinglass, strain it again through a sieve, and add J pint of good whipped cream. Pour the mixture into a large mould and set it upon the ice to get cold and firm ; when it is so, turn it out in the usual way. (3) Set a copper pan on the fire, put into it 8oz. of raw Coffee- berries, stir them about until they are slightly browned, then pour over 2 breakfast-cupfuls each of milk and cream, and add 12oz. of sugar and the yolks of six egg's ; continue to stir until these form a custard ; run this through a fine sieve into a freezer, and freeze. Pour into a mould packed in ice, let it set, turn out on to a cold dish, and serve. Coffee Cream Ice. -(1) Put 1 breakfast-cupful of ground Coffee in a bottle with J pint of water, and leave it to steep all night ; then strain it through a cloth previously rinsed in hot water.
