Anyone have a recipe for this? Mom used to make a gelatin custard dessert called Spanish Cream.?

Question

It was lovely, and it separated into what I remember was almost three layers. She would chill it in a gelatin mold. I checked a few recipes online, but they seemed to fall short of what I remember.

Answer 1

I actually have it in a cookbook I got in Australia!

1 envelope unflavored gelatin
2/3 cup sugar
2 1/2 cups milk
3 eggs, separated
1 teaspoon vanilla

Mix 1/3 cup sugar and gelatin in the top of a double boiler set over simmering water.
Slowly stir in milk and stir until sugar and gelatin are completely dissolved.
Beat the egg yolks until light then blend a bit of the hot mixture into it.
Add the egg yolk mixture to the gelatin mixture and cook, stirring constantly until thickened.
Mix in vanilla and then chill until mixture mounds slightly when dropped from a spool.
Beat eggs whites until they form soft peaks, gradually beat in the remaining 1/3 cup sugar until stiff peaks form.
Fold the custard mixture into the eggs whites and spoon into 6 goblets and chill until firm.

Answer 2

SPANISH CREAM

1 env. Knox gelatin
2 c. milk
1/4 c. sugar
2 eggs
1 tbsp. cornstarch or flour
1/8 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. vanilla

Scald milk. Add sugar, salt, and vanilla. Put gelatin in a little cold water and let stand a few minutes. Separate eggs, placing yolks in a milk bottle with a little water and the cornstarch. Place cap on the bottle and shake well. Add to the scalded milk and stir while cooking very slowly until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Dissolve the gelatin in this mixture. Pour into a wet mold and chill. Beat the egg whites until stiff and add to the chilled mixture, folding them in. Place in refrigerator until firm. This custard is nice over cake. If necessary, soften the cake by soaking with milk.
