Cold Crabmeat Mousse Recipe

1. In a saucepan melt the butter, add the flour and stir with a wire whisk until blended. Meanwhile, bring the broth and milk to a boil and add all at once to the butter-flour mixture, stirring vigorously with the whisk.
2. Soften the gelatin in the cold water and add to the sauce. Cook, stirring, until the gelatin has dissolved.
3. Add all the remaining ingredients except the cream and refrigerate until the mixture starts to set.
4. Meanwhile, tie a band of waxed paper or aluminum foil around the top of a straight-sided bowl of six-cup capacity. Let the band rise two inches above the bowl.
5. Fold the cream into the partly set mixture. Turn into the prepared dish (the mixture may come to the level of the paper) and refrigerate until set.
6. To serve, remove the paper to expose the top of the souffle. Garnish the top as desired with lobster claws, green pepper rings, etc.
