Step 1: Heat the coffee, milk, gelatin, and 1/3 cup of the sugar in a double boiler.
Step 2: Add the egg yolks, which have been slightly beaten, the salt, and the remaining 1/3 cup of sugar.
Step 3: Cook until the mixture thickens, whisking frequently; this will take some time, and it will eventually have the consistency of motor oil (it’s the only way she can describe the texture).
Step 4: Remove the coffee mixture from the heat.
Step 5: Beat the egg whites, salt, cream of tartar and the vanilla until stiff.
Step 6: Gently fold the whites into the coffee mixture.
Step 7: When thoroughly combined, pour into a mold, chill until firm.
Step 8: Serve with whipped cream, and garnish with dark-chocolate shavings.
