Take a pint of whipped cream as for No. 1254, add three tablespoonfuls of coffee essence (No. 1263), and beat well together for five minutes. Transfer it to a china bowl, and put it in a cold ice-box. When ready to serve, use a spoon to drop the cream carefully upon the centre of a cold, round dessert-dish, keeping it as high as possible, shaping it into a pretty, artistic dome. Send immediately to the table.
