About the dish

The recipe appears in the dessert chapter of "Stor kokebok" (1914) among the cold puddings that are set with gelatin in a mold. The columns of the page are printed so that the ingredient lists for several recipes stand close together; here the list has been returned to its own recipe.

How to make it

  1. 1

    Soak the gelatin

    Put the gelatin sheets in cold water for about 5 minutes, or soak the powder according to the directions on the package.

  2. 2

    Boil the chocolate mixture

    Coarsely chop the chocolate and bring it to a boil with the milk, sugar, and the soaked gelatin, stirring constantly.

  3. 3

    Cool

    Pour the mixture into a bowl and let it cool well, but not set.

  4. 4

    Fold in the cream

    Whip the cream stiff and fold it gently into the cooled chocolate mass.

  5. 5

    Fill the mold

    Rinse a mold with cold water and dust it with sugar. Fill in the mass and chill for at least 4 hours until it is set.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Turn the pudding out onto a platter and garnish with stiffly whipped cream.

Changes from the original

"Bar of chocolate" is converted to about 150 g dark chocolate, deciliters are used as the modern unit, and the gelatin is given in grams with directions for soaking (the original's sheet gelatin). The method has been divided into numbered steps.
