CHOCOLATE SAUCE

Put one pint of milk in the double-boiler, and on the fire. Shave two ounces of
Walter Baker and Co.'s Chocolate, and put it in a small pan with four tablespoonfuls of sugar and two of boiling water.



Stir over the fire until smooth and glossy, and add to the hot milk. Beat together
for eight minutes the yolks of four eggs, three tablespoonfuls of sugar, and a
saltspoonful of salt, and then add one gill of cold milk.



Pour the boiling milk on this, stirring well. Return to the double-boiler, and cook
for five minutes, stirring all the time. Pour into a cold bowl and set the bowl in cold water.



Stir for a few minutes, and then occasionally until the sauce is cold. This sauce is nice for cold or hot cornstarch pudding, bread pudding, cold cabinet pudding, snow pudding, etc.



It will also answer for a dessert. Fill custard glasses with it, and serve the same as soft custard; or have the glasses two-thirds full, and heap up with whipped cream.



CHOCOLATE CANDY

One cupful of molasses, two cupfuls of sugar, one cupful of milk, one-half pound
of chocolate, a piece of butter half the size of an egg.



Boil the milk and molasses together, scrape the chocolate fine, and mix with just enough of the boiling milk and molasses to moisten; rub it perfectly smooth, then, with the sugar, stir into the boiling liquid; add the butter, and boil twenty minutes.



Try as molasses candy, and if it hardens, pour into a buttered dish. Cut the same as nut candy.

MILTON PUDDING

Use one pint of stale bread broken in crumbs, one quart of milk, two eggs, half a teaspoonful of salt, half a teaspoonful of ground cinnamon, three tablespoonfuls of
sugar and two ounces of Walter Baker & Co.'s Chocolate, grated.



Put the bread, milk, cinnamon, and chocolate in a bowl, and soak for two or three
hours. Beat together the eggs, sugar, and salt. Mash the soaked bread with a spoon,
and add the egg mixture to the bread and milk.



Pour into a pudding-dish, and bake in a slow oven for about forty minutes. Serve with an egg sauce or a vanilla cream sauce.



EGG SAUCE.—Beat the whites of two eggs to a stiff, dry froth; and beat into this,
a little at a time, one cupful of powdered sugar. When smooth and light, add one
teaspoonful of vanilla and the yolks of two eggs.



Beat the mixture a little longer; then stir in one cupful of whipped cream or three
tablespoonfuls of milk. Serve at once.



VANILLA CREAM SAUCE.

Beat to a cream three tablespoonfuls of butter, and gradually beat into this two-thirds of a cupful of powdered sugar. When this is light and creamy, add a teaspoonful of vanilla; then gradually beat in two cupfuls of whipped cream.



Place the bowl in a pan of boiling water, and stir constantly for three minutes. Pour the sauce into a warm bowl, and serve.



SNOW PUDDING

Put a pint of milk in the double-boiler and on the fire. Mix three tablespoonfuls of
cornstarch with a gill of milk and one-third of a teaspoonful of salt. Stir this into the milk when it boils.



Beat the whites of four eggs to a stiff froth, and then gradually beat into them half a cupful of powdered sugar and one teaspoonful of vanilla. Add this to the cooking mixture, and beat vigorously for one minute.

Rinse a mould in cold water, and pouring the pudding into it, set away to cool.

At serving-time turn out on a flat dish, and serve with chocolate sauce.

CHOCOLATE PUDDING

Reserve one gill of milk from a quart, and put the remainder on the fire in a double-boiler. Mix three tablespoonfuls of cornstarch with the cold milk.



Beat two eggs with half a cupful of powdered sugar and half a teaspoonful of salt. Add this to the cornstarch and milk, and stir into the boiling milk, beating well for a minute. Shave fine two ounces of Walter Baker & Co.'s Premium No. 1 Chocolate, and put it into a small pan with four tablespoonfuls of sugar and two of boiling water.



Stir over a hot fire until smooth and glossy; then beat into the hot pudding. Cook the pudding in all ten minutes, counting from the time the eggs and cornstarch are added. Serve cold with powdered sugar and cream.



This pudding can be poured while hot into little cups which have been rinsed in cold water. At serving time turn out on a flat dish, making a circle, and fill the center of the dish with whipped cream flavored with sugar and vanilla.



The eggs may be omitted, in which case use one more tablespoonful of cornstarch.



CHOCOLATE MERINGUE PUDDING

For a small pudding use one pint of milk, two tablespoonfuls and a half of
cornstarch, one ounce of Walter Baker & Co.'s Chocolate, two eggs, five
tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar, one-fourth of a teaspoonful of salt, and half a
teaspoonful of vanilla extract.



Mix the cornstarch with one gill of the milk. Put the remainder of the milk on to
boil in the double-boiler. Scrape the chocolate.



When the milk boils, add the cornstarch, salt, and chocolate, and cook for ten minutes. Beat the yolks of the eggs with three tablespoonfuls of sugar.



Pour the hot mixture on this, and beat well. Turn into a pudding-dish that will hold about a quart, and bake for twenty minutes in a moderate oven.



Beat the whites of the eggs to a stiff, dry froth, and gradually beat in the remaining two tablespoonfuls of sugar and the vanilla. Spread this on the pudding, and return
to the oven.



Cook for fifteen minutes longer, but with the oven-door open. Serve either cold or hot.

Stir over a hot fire until smooth and glossy, then stir into the cooked mixture.

Add a saltspoonful of salt and a teaspoonful of vanilla. Strain, and turn into a

mould that has been rinsed in cold water.

in a small pan with three tablespoonfuls of the sugar and one of boiling water.



Stir over a hot fire until smooth and glossy; then stir into the hot milk, and take

the milk from the fire to cool.



Put three tablespoonfuls of sugar into a charlotte-mould that will hold a little more than a quart, and place on the stove. When the sugar melts and begins to smoke,
move the mould round and round, to coat it with the burnt sugar, then place on the
table.



Beat together the remainder of the sugar, the eggs, and the salt. Add the cold
milk and chocolate to the mixture, and after straining into the charlotte-mould,
place in a deep pan, with enough tepid water to come nearly to the top of the
mould. Bake in a moderate oven until firm in the center.

a basin that will hold two quarts or more. Place the basin in a pan of ice-water, and

stir until cold, when it will begin to thicken.



Instantly begin to stir in the whipped cream, adding half the amount at first. When all

the cream has been added, dip the mould in cold water and turn the cream into it.

until well mixed. Wipe out the chilled mould, and turn the cream into it.



Cover, and then place a little ice lightly on top. Wet a piece of carpet in water, and cover the top of the pail. Set away for three or four hours; then take the mould from the ice, dip it in cold water, wipe, and then turn the mousse out on a flat dish.



CHOCOLATE CHARLOTTE

Soak a quarter of a package of gelatine in one-third of a cupful of cold water for

two hours. Whip one pint of cream to a froth, and put it in a bowl, which should be

placed in a pan of ice-water.

CHOCOLATE CREAM PIES

Beat to a cream half a cupful of butter and a cupful and a quarter of powdered sugar.

Beat together the yolks of two eggs, three tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar, and a level tablespoonful of flour.

Stir this mixture into the boiling milk, beating well. Add one-sixth of a teaspoonful of salt, and cook for fifteen minutes, stirring often.

hot mixture. Set away to cool, and when cold, freeze.
