Coffee Charlotte Russe (Way of making a delicious)

A way of making a delicious coffee charlotte which has a very delicate flavor is as follows: Grind rather coarsely a quarter of a pound of freshly roasted coffee. Throw it into a pint of boiling hot cream. Set the cream on the back part of the fire where the coffee will infuse through it for about an hour. It must not boil, however. At the end of the hour, strain it, add the beaten yolks of four eggs, an half ounce of gelatine dissolved in a little cold water and half a cupful of sugar. Stir the mixture over the fire until the gelatine is thoroughly melted and the eggs begin to thicken. This part of the process should be done in a double boiler. As soon as this custard is done, set it in a pan of ice and continue beating until it is thoroughly chilled and begins to thicken. Then add instantly a quart of dry whipped cream.
