Charlotte Mousse

Soften three cakes of chocolate. When soft work the chocolate to a paste with a little syrup flavored with vanilla; warm and add the white of one egg whipped and sweetened, and a pint and a half of whipped cream, flavored with vanilla sugar. Pack a quart mould in pounded and salted ice, fill, put a cover on, lay ice on the top of that and leave for an hour, then unmould onto a dish.
