Carême Mousse
Mousse à la Carême
Fill a large Charlotte mould with a maraschino mousse (see recipe in this chapter), place the mould in the charged ice cave for about two hours, then take up and scoop out a hollow in the centre of the mousse, partly fill the space thus formed with a coffee custard, prepared as below; then fill up with the mousse mixture, replace the mould in the cave for about four hours, then dip it into cold water, pass a clean cloth over the bottom to absorb any moisture, turn out the mousse on to a dish on a dish-paper, and serve for a sweet for dinner or any cold collation.
CUSTARD MIXTURE FOR Carême Mousse.—Make half a pint of strong coffee, add to it six well-beaten raw eggs, three ounces of castor sugar, a wineglass of brandy, a wineglass of Silver Rays (white) rum, and a few drops of vanilla essence; mix well together with a whisk and then strain it, butter a smaller sized plain charlotte mould than that used for the mousse, pour the prepared mixture
