One tablespoon gelatine dissolved in a little cold water. Boil 1 cup Sugar and 1/3 cup water till it forms a soft ball when tried in cold water, add gelatine and stir just enough to mix it with syrup.
Beat the whites of 4 eggs to a stiff froth, add a pinch of salt, then pour over them slowly, beating continually, the hot syrup. Continue beating for some time, or until mixture begins to thicken; then pour in a mould. Chill, and serve with whipped cream sprinkled with chopped dates.
Part of the pudding may be colored if liked, either with the pink tablet or chocolate. May be moulded in individual moulds, or one large one.
