Gma T's: Chocolate Mousse Icebox Cake

My grandmother, about 2 years ago, gave me her box of recipes. She passed away April 14th, 2015. My goal this year is to get as many of her recipes onto my Cooking Blog so that I can share them with all interested family and friends.

*  Recipe card dated 1973 by The McCall Publishing Co.

Ingredients:
4 pkg 3oz size ladyfingers, split lengthwise

 3 pkg 6oz size semisweet chocolate pieces
1 c sugar
1 tsp vanilla
8 eggs, separated
Confectioners sugar

Directions: 

1. Line side and then bottom of 9 inch springform pan (or pretty clear glass bowl) ladyfingers, split side in. Set aside.
2. In medium saucepan, combine chocolate pieces, granulated sugar, and 1/2 c water. Over low heat, stir constantly until chocolate is melted and sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat. Add vanilla and beat with wooden spoon until smooth. Set aside, and let cool slightly.
3. In large mixing bowl, at medium speed, beat egg yolks slightly. Gradually add the chocolate mixture. Beating constantly. Continue beating until it thickens.
4. With clean beaters, beat egg whites just until stiff peaks form when beaters are slowly raised. With wire whisk or rubber scraper, using an under-over motion, gently fold beaten egg whites into chocolate mixture just until combined.
5. Spread a fourth of chocolate mixture over ladyfingers in springform pan. Cover mixture with a layer of ladyfingers. Repeat 3 times.
6. Refrigerate until firm - 4 hours or overnight.
7. To serve: Gently remove side of pan if using springform, place cake on serving plate or leave in pretty glass bowl. :)
8. Sprinkle cake liberally with powdered sugar.
Makes 14 servings.

Make it a great one!!
