Chocolate Cream - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 oz. grated chocolate
1/4 lb. sugar
1 1/2 pt. cream
1 1/2 oz. gelatin
6 hen eggs (yolks)

Preparation

Beat the egg yolks well; add them to the grated chocolate, sugar and 1 pint of the cream.
Stir well.
Pour ingredients into a basin; set the basin into a saucepan (double boiler) of boiling water.
Stir it one way until the mixture thickens, but do not allow it to boil, or it will curdle.
Strain the cream through a sieve into a basin.
Stir in the gelatin and the other 1/2 pint of cream, which should be well whipped.
Mix all well together; pour it into a mold which has been previously oiled with the purest salad oil.
Set the mold in ice; chill until ready to serve.
