Chocolate Parfait

The Institute Cook Book by Helen Cramp, 1913
Ingredients Instructions
Note: The instructions for freezing Café Parfait were written before households commonly had freezers. They included an arcane method of freezing the mixture in a can placed in a barrel of salt and ice. Instead, merely pour the parfait into a container and place in the freezer for at least 3 hours without stirring.
