1 tb Gelatin; granulated 1/2 c Water; cold
3 md Eggs, separated 1/4 c Cocoa; dry (25 g)
1/8 ts Salt 1 1/2 ts Vanilla; real
1/2 ts Chocolate extract; pure Artifical sweetener *
1/8 ts Cream of tartar 42 g Ladyfingers; 6 small
* Use enough artificial sweetener to substitute for 2/3 cups sugar.
Soak gelatin in cold water. Beat egg yolks until light; add cocoa,
salt, and milk; beat until smooth. Turn into the top of a double
boiler. Cook over simmering water stirring constantly until thick
and smooth. Remove from heat. Add vanilla, chocolate extract and
artificial sweetener; mix well. Add chocolate mixture to gelatin
and stir until gelatin is completely dissolved. Chill in
refrigerator, stirring occasionally until mixture sets to the
consistency of unbeaten egg whites. Meanwhile split lady fingers.
Place halves upright (flat side in) around outer sides of a 4-cup
mold. When chocolate mixture is partially thickened, beat egg whites
and cream of tartar until stiff. Fold into chocolate mixture; blend
thoroughly. Carefully spoon into mold. Cover with clear plastic
wrap. Chill for 3 to 4 hours or until set. Unmold onto a serving
plate as you would any gelatin mixture. To serve, cut into six
slices.
Makes 6 Servings of 2/3rds cup chocolate mold plus 2 ladyfinger
halves.
