Source of Recipe

Ireland


Recipe Introduction

YIELD. 4 to 6 servings

List of Ingredients

* 1/4 cup dried carrageen moss (available in health-food stores and some co-ops)
* 1 cup tepid water
* 3 3/4 cups milk
* 2 tablespoons sugar
* 2 eggs, separated into yolks and whites
* 1 teaspoon vanilla essence






Recipe



Soak the carrageen in the tepid water for 10 minutes. Place it in a heavy saucepan with the milk. Simmer gently for 20 minutes, making sure the mixture does not boil over. Pour through a strainer into a mixing bowl. The carrageen will now be swollen and jellylike. Rub the jelly through the strainer into the mixing bowl.
Add the sugar, egg yolks and the vanilla essence. Mix thoroughly.
Whisk the egg whites until stiff and fold in. Pour the mixture into a serving bowl or individual glasses, and chill.
NOTE. Carrageen can be served with fruit compote or a caramel sauce.
