Bavarian Vanilla Cream

This is peculiar to the Tyrol and Black Forest. Warm but do not boil 3/4 pint of milk, mix the yolks of 3 eggs and 3 ounces of sugar, add to the milk, stir well, then having dissolved 1/2 ounce gelatine in the warm milk, stir until thick, but do not boil it. Add a spoonful of vanilla, strain it, and add 1/2 pint of whipped cream. Pour into a mould, and serve with strawberry sauce, made by cooking a cup of fresh berries, or canned ones, with sugar to sweeten, the juice of 1/2 a lemon, and sufficient hot water to make a thick syrup when strained. Cool it, and serve both very cold.
