Burnt Almond and Vanilla Mousse
Mousse de Pralines et Vanille
Take a quarter pound of blanched and skinned Jordan almonds, chop them very finely; put them on a baking tin in a moderate oven till a nice brown colour; pound them into a smooth paste with a split pod of vanilla, two tablespoonfuls of brandy, and about six drops of Marshall's Almond Essence; then rub all through a fine wire sieve and mix with half a pint of very stiffly-whipped cream.
