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.

@adrianwilson5950 - I think packet is more common in America than "sachet", which is what the OP was referring to.

It wasn't part f their puding lineup, but Jell-O used to sell "Jell-O 1-2-3" which did have light and creamy layers on top.

@sinocte 22 дня назад

The other thing to consider with the ice bowl is that air conditioning wasn't much of a thing in 38... So the room itself was liable to be a good bit warmer.

hahaha when Glen described the rotary egg beater I did exactly the same hand movements as he did I am pretty sure that he also had one more of those desserts about an hour later

@shelleyhenley7414 22 дня назад

In Australia this desert would have been called a Flummery. The ingredients are either cold cream or carnation milk, and water with gelatin, sugar and flavouring/or a packet of your favourite jelly. Just like your Velvet Cream, for a Flummery, the jelly is half set in the fridge, then whipped till the mixture doubles in size, and then poured into parfait or sundae glasses till it sets in the fridge. I remember my Nana making Flummery for dinner, using Aeroplane Jelly, usually in Raspberry or Port Wine jelly (rather than chocolate). I’m pretty sure we kids were given the task of whipping that mixture in a rotary whip, to keep us out of the way, as a game to whip it the fastest and neatest, somehow it always ended up being finished properly just at the time it was ready to be poured into its glasses to go into the fridge. And always delicious.

@IsaacIsaacIsaacson 21 день назад

That looks wonderful (and I'd probably add more chocolate, too). Jello pudding actually has it's uses...I used it for our Boxing Day desserts. Chocolate pudding made up, whipped cream added, and then layered it with squares of cake, kind of like a lazy trifle (it's really good done with lemon pie filling and the whipped cream as well).

@Amanda-xo5tl 21 день назад

In the US, Knox packages spell gelatin with an e. Though both with and without are common here depending on what part of the country you live in. My family interchangeably uses UK and US spelling. Also this recipe looks incredible. It looks so smooth and creamy and light. I will definitely be making this.

@ValMacher 21 день назад

@LolaChacona 22 дня назад

Mousse, since it's whipped. And in the States, gelatin is without the 'e' at the end. It looked a bit pale for bakers chocolate, so I would either double up the squares, or add some coco powder - but maybe that would change the texture. Either way, Glen did the happy dance, so it's good as it is.

@petersoos498 21 день назад

Sitting here in my kitchen in California looking at my box of gelatine with an 'e' on the end. Maybe just some supply chain, 'whatever we have in stock' from the mfg plant thing.

I also have a few old Baker's Chocolate Cookbooks. You might be interested to know that by 1943 in the Baker's Favorite Chocolate Recipes they had upped the chocolate to two squares, and changed the method somewhat to use scalded milk. One of our favourite family frostings come from these cookbooks. Clever Judy Frosting. You really should try it.

6:00 I'd say the reason for the ice even after cooling is a fridge in 1938 was an ice box literally a box with a big block of ice to cool not a motor powered by electricity cycling a refrigerant. And as you say Glenn then you had to use a hand cranked egg beater which took even more time. Cooled desserts must have been a pain to make back then but would have impressed your guests from the effort put into it.

Hey Glenn. Yeah they still make Jello pudding and as a matter of fact I got sick of the pain in the ass ice cream maker.😂 So I started making my jello with half cream half full fat milk And then similar to what you make I whip it until Doubles in volume. Sounds like it's exactly the same but prepackaged. Absolutely delicious and is smoother is than any ice cream I ever made! No Brain freeze either.

@Rigel_Chiokis 21 день назад

Regarding the bowl of ice: I think another difference between 1938 and 2024 is we have much better refrigeration. Your mix was probably cooler and would hold the chill longer than 1938. Mind you, I'm theorising and have no way of testing the theory. Anyone out there have a 1938 ice box? I remember my mother whipping cream with a rotary beater (the old hand crank type) and it took a long time (and effort!) compared to an electric mixer.

@Jeffffrey0902 22 дня назад

1. If you live in a hot climate and it's 35C outside, the ice bath will be a must or the whole thing will separate before it whips up, even if you have AC and an electric mixer. Learnt this the hard way. 2. Panna cotta can be made with egg whites instead of gelatine. IMO the egg white version tastes better.

@YeshuaKingMessiah 20 дней назад

Viewers might also like to know, before baking chocolate there was TaDA 🎉 cocoa powder and butter! Since we re not selling the baking choc bars, we can be realistic and just use basic items. 1oz unsweetened chocolate = 3tbsp cocoa powder 1tbsp butter Melt all with the milk in the Chocolate Cream recipe and go from there
