A 1938 Classic! Chocolate Velvet Cream Recipe

Decadent Chocolate Velvet Cream: A 1938 Classic! The Old Cookbook Show
Welcome back, friends! Today on Sunday Morning and The Old Cookbook Show, we're diving into a vintage recipe from the 1938 pamphlet "My Party Book of Tested Chocolate Recipes" by Baker’s Chocolate Company. Join us as we create the Chocolate Velvet Cream, a delightful dessert that’s rich, creamy, and sure to impress. It's a cross between a chocolate mousse and a chocolate pudding recipe. We'll also discuss what is a square of chocolate?

This recipe takes us back to the Great Depression era with simple yet luxurious ingredients. We’ll navigate through the steps of melting chocolate, working with gelatin, and whipping up a velvety cream dessert. Perfect for dinner parties or just a sweet treat at home!


Chocolate Velvet Cream
Ingredients:
1 square Baker's Unsweetened Chocolate
1 cup milk
1 Tablespoon granulated gelatin
½ cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup heavy cream
½ teaspoon vanilla

Method:
Add chocolate to ¾ cup milk and beat in a double boiler. Soak gelatin in remaining ¼ cup milk 5 minutes. When chocolate is melted, beat with a rotary egg beater until blended. Add gelatine, sugar, and salt, and stir until gelatin is dissolved. Cool. Add cream and vanilla. Chill until cold and syrupy. Place in bowl of cracked ice or ice water and whip with rotary egg beater until fluffy and thick like whipped cream. Turn into individual molds. Chill until firm. Unmold. Garnish with cream. Serves 6.


I will once again be flying in the Give Hope Wings fundraiser this year! Our June of 2024 flight will see us stop in many communities in Eastern Canada to raise awareness for this worthy cause.
Last year 2023 we raised over $27,000 towards helping our neighbours - we made a positive difference in the lives of many.
