Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 envelopes gelatin
- 4 eggs separated
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup sugar
- ⅓ cup whiskey suggest Jim Beam bourbon whiskey
- 3 ounce package ladyfingers
- Maraschino cherries optional garnish
Instructions
- Stir together the milk and gelatin in a small saucepan and let stand for 5 minutes.
- Place the saucepan over low and cook, stirring constantly, until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Set aside to cool. Proceed with the recipe when the milk and gelatin mixture has cooled to room temperature.
- In a large bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Set aside for now.
- In a separate bowl, beat the whipping cream. Set that aside for now.
- In a medium bowl, beat the egg yolks, gradually adding the sugar, until fluffy and pale yellow.
- Stir the milk and gelatin mixture very gently into the egg yolks and sugar.
- Very gradually stir the whiskey into the egg yolk mixture.
- Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the egg whites incorporating only a small amount each time.
- Fold in the whipped cream. Again, work very gently and with only a small amount of cream each time.
- Line a trifle or other bowl with ladyfingers. Pour the mixture into the bowl.
- Cover loosely and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
- Garnish individual servings with Maraschino cherries, if desired.
Notes
- This recipe uses raw eggs. If you have any concern at all about consuming raw eggs, you might consider using pasteurized eggs.
- Take care at each step of the recipe when folding ingredients to do so gently and carefully so as not to deflate the lovely airy texture of the Charlotte Russe.
- The recipe should be made at least one day, and up to three, before serving so that it has plenty of time to set. Make sure it's covered well and refrigerated until serving time.
- Store any leftovers just like you would other jelled desserts. Cover, refrigerate and use within three days.
