CHOCOLATE ANGEL FOOD DESSERT 
1 angel food cake
1 env. unflavored gelatin
1/4 c. cold water
6 eggs
1 1/2 c. sugar
3/4 c. milk
Pinch of salt
2 (1 oz.) squares cooking chocolate
1 tsp. vanilla
1 pt. whipping cream

Dissolve gelatin in water. Beat 6 egg yolks slightly in top of double boiler, stir in 3/4 cup sugar, 3/4 cup milk and pinch of salt. Stir over boiling water about 10 minutes or until mixture thickens. Add gelatin and chocolate, stir until dissolved. Add vanilla and cool. Beat egg whites until stiff and add 3/4 cup sugar. Fold beaten egg white mixture into yolk mixture.

Tear cake into good size pieces. Place in large bowl. Add chocolate mixture; mix well.
