Maraschino Mousse
Mousse au Marasquin
Put into a whipping pan ten raw yolks of eggs, three whites of eggs, a wineglass of maraschino liqueur, two ounces of castor sugar, and a dessertspoonful of vanilla essence; whip these over boiling water till the mixture is warm, then remove the pan from the fire and continue the whipping until the mixture is cold and thick; add to it half a pint of slightly-sweetened, stiffly-whipped cream, and put it into a mousse mould that has been in the charged ice-cave for about a quarter of an hour; put the cover on the mould, place it on the bottom of the cave, and freeze the mousse for about four and a half hours, giving the mould an occasional turn round, so that the mousse becomes evenly frozen. When frozen, dip the mould into cold water, remove the cover, pass a clean cloth over the bottom to absorb any moisture, and turn out on to a cold dish on a paper. Serve for a dinner sweet or for dessert.
