Soak 1/2 box of Cox's gelatine, 1 quart of sweet milk, 1/2 cake of sweet chocolate, 1/2 cup of sugar.
Flavor to taste; mix milk, sugar, and chocolate, and let it boil nearly an hour. Strain through a sieve, pressing the sediment through with a spoon. Add the gelatine and vanilla when taking it off the stove. When nearly cold, put in a mould which has been wet with cold water.
Dissolve 1 ounce of gelatine in 1 pint of milk by boiling. Beat the yolks of 4 eggs (sweetened) and stir them in while the milk is on the fire. When this is cooked to the consistency of custard, strain into a bowl, stirring constantly. Season 1/2 gallon of cream with whisky. Whip to a stiff froth and beat it in just as the custard (which should be seasoned with vanilla or rose water) begins to congeal. Have ready a glass bowl lined with sponge cake and pour in.
