Whip 1 pint of cream very stiff, turn it into a sieve to drain, so that it will be perfectly dry. Mix with it 1 cupful of any fruit pulp, the juice drained off, and the pulp mixed with enough powdered sugar to make it of the same consistency as the whipped cream; add a little vanilla, pour into an ice cream mold, lay a thin paper over the cream before putting on the cover, and pack in ice for 3 hours.

CAFE MOUSSE

Grind 1/4 lb. coffee and drip enough boiling water through it to make a teacupful of liquid. Let it percolate very slowly through the coffee so as to absorb all the strength it will. Take this strong essence and add to it the beaten yolks of 2 eggs and 3 ozs. of sugar. Set the bowl containing it in a saucepan of boiling water and stir it till it thickens; it will take about 5 minutes; then add about 1 tablespoonful of gelatin which has been soaked for 1 hour in 2 tablespoonfuls of cold water. Stir the boiling mixture till it becomes cold, but not till it hardens. Whip 1 pt. of cream till it is a stiff froth; add the coffee to it and continue beating till the mixture is fine and thick. While beating the mousse set the tin dish which holds it in another dish of cracked ice. The moment it is thick turn it into a slender mousse mold and pack it in ice and salt for 1/2 hour if you want it simply chilled, for 4 hours if you wish it frozen. Serve the mousse in pretty after dinner coffee cups or in tall Bohemian glasses of amber color.

Add 1/2 cupful of the whipped cream to this, stirring well from the bottom of the pan. Then add remainder of whipped cream slowly.
