FLUFFY CHOCOLATE ICE: Place egg whites in a large mixer trough.
Set the bowl in a large bowl of very hot tap water and let stand for
10 transactions, stirring occasionally. In a small heavy saucepan set over
low warmth, melt cocoa, stirring incessantly, until smoothen; be very

medium-heat heating. Cover and boil for 2 minutes to allow steam to wash
any sugar from pan sides. Uncover and continue stewing, without
stirring, until mixture bubbles loudly and reaches 244-245'F on a
candy thermometer (astir 1 1/2 transactions). (To test without a candy
thermometer, drop a teaspoon of syrup into ice h2o; when cooked to
the proper temperature the syrup will form a firm ball that holds its
shape when squeezed.) Immedately remove pan from heat and set away.


With mixer set on medium swiftness, beat egg whites until very frothy and
unintelligible. Raise speed to high and beat until whites just begin to stand
in soft peaks; be careful not to overbeat. Lag, return syrup to
burner and reheat just to stewing. Beating whites on high upper,
immediately begin pouring boiling syrup in a stream down the side of
the trough (avoid beaters or syrup will stick to them or be thrown onto
bowl english), pouring rapidly enough that all the syrup is incorporated
in roughly 15 seconds. Add salt and continue beating on high speed
until the mixture is stiffened, glossy and cooled to barely tender.
Beat in vanilla and coffee mixture until evenly merged. Sift
powdered sugar and cocoa onto a sheet of wax composition. A bit at a time,
whisk into egg-white assortment. Whisk in melted chocolate just until
smoothly merged.
