Vanilla Soufflé with Pistachio Sauce
Soufflé de Vanille au Sauce Pistaches
Put into a whipping tin fourteen raw yolks and six whites of eggs, six ounces of vanilla sugar, and one table-spoonful of vanilla essence; whip the mixture over boiling water till warm, then take from the fire and whip it till cold and thick, add three and a half gills of stiffly-whipped cream, and then pour the whole into a large soufflé case that is surrounded by a band of kitchen paper standing about six inches above the case. Place the soufflé on the bottom of the charged ice cave for three and a half to four hours, during which time turn it occasionally so that it gets evenly frozen; take it up, remove the band of paper, replace this with a folded serviette, and sprinkle the top with crystallised rose leaves and blanched and finely-shredded pistachio nuts. Arrange it on a dish on a paper or serviette, and serve for a dinner sweet with pistachio sauce, prepared as below, handed in a sauce boat.
