Rum Pudding (Norwegian)

1 envelope plain gelatine
1/4 cup cold water
5 egg yolks, beaten
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 pint hot milk
1/2 cup rum
1 cup whipping cream, whipped

Soak gelatine in cold water until soft. Beat egg yolks with sugar until frothy and lemon-colored, then slowly add hot milk, stirring constantly. Pour the mixture into top of a double boiler over boiling water, and cook for a few minutes until smooth and creamy. Add gelatine mixture to this; blend well, then cool.

When cream is cool, add rum and whipped cream. Pour into a mold and chill for several hours. Serve with raspberry sauce or whipped cream.
