If you'd like to try this recipe at home, make sure to be very careful when handling/blowing the eggs. In some countries chickens are not vaccinated against salmonella so we suggest giving the eggs a good wash in boiling water and take care not to get any raw egg in your mouth.
This recipe for Marbled Eggs would have been served as a sweet ‘entremets’ - small dishes served before dessert. This particular version uses a sweetened cream filling with chocolate and vanilla, but you could use any flavour you like or experiment with different colour jellies.
How to make Marbled Eggs
This makes enough mixture to fill around six medium sized eggs.
INGREDIENTS
600ml double cream
7 leaves of gelatine soaked in cold water
2 tbsp granulated sugar
2 tbsp chopped chocolate
A few drops of vanilla extract
Around 6 medium sized eggs
Crushed ice
Some flour and water paste
METHOD
Heat the cream in a pan to just below boiling.
Add the sugar, and stir thoroughly until it has dissolved.
Mix in the gelatine until it is completely incorporated.
Pour half of this cream mixture into a jug, and add your vanilla extract to it.
Add your chocolate to the other cream mixture on the hob, and whisk it on a very low heat until it has melted. Pour this into another jug.
Allow both mixes to cool to room temperature.
Pierce a hole in the top and bottom of one of the eggs, enlarge the hole in bottom to around. 3mm, and in the top to up to 7mm
Break up the contents inside the egg with needle or skewer. Hold the egg over a bowl, place your mouth firmly round the middle of the egg forming a good seal over the top hole. Blow the contents of the egg out into the bowl. The yolk and whites will be ready mixed, perfect for scrambled eggs, omelettes or cakes.
Put the crushed ice in a bowl and cover it with a clean tea towel.
Use the flour and water paste to cover the bottom hole in all of the eggs.
Stand your eggs upright in the ice. Pour a few tablespoons of one of your cream mixtures into the eggs using a small funnel or a piping nozzle. Allow this layer to set for around 10-15 minutes on the ice, and then add a few tablespoons of the other cream mixture
Keep building up the layers of cream until the whole egg has been filled.
Once your eggs have set firmly, you can begin to remove the shells. One of the easiest ways to do this is by sliding a teaspoon between the shell and the set cream. It’s useful to keep a small bowl of cold water and a cloth ready to wipe your fingers between eggs so as not to smudge colours.
Serve your eggs in a bowl, or in egg cups. For an extra Victorian flourish you could make a sponge cake ring and place the eggs inside, just like Mrs Crocombe.

English Heritage I really like this channel keep up the amazing work
English Heritage We all love her to bits!!!
English Heritage miss her so much
You can also get a cool modern device called an egg blower to reduce the chances of Salmonella poisoning.
Please release videos of Mrs.Crocombe's a little more often 😊

She sayin if your poor you can use coco
Hadra568 she always talking smack lol
Mrs. C flexin on us
coco she don't!
"if you worked in a more modest household, you could use cocoa"

Is that like a personal attack or something
she knows who's her audience (peasants)
@@en1909s9iah It's actually a very kind (if old-fashioned) way to refer to a lower-income household!
@@FlowersInHisHair I'm aware of that, I was only joking...
I love how she talks to the viewers as if everyone was from the Victorian era
100th like
And it made me like a poor people 🤣
Yes. It lends more of an aire of authenticity to the production and the viewing audience.
Me too. Its the best part!
Getting into character, my friend. I do remember a video where she referenced packet custard etc. and they wouldn’t have had that back then.
00:30 Love that Lady Braybook is out here giving Ms. Crocombe themed challenges like she knows our girl is on a cooking show 😭😂
For today’s challenge you’ll be blowing on eggs while desperately trying to avoid catching salmonella
@@zenithrevenant262 just remove your mouth before sucking in then there should be no contact between your mouth and the raw egg.
Otherwise, a modern alternative is using a blower, one of those small pumps that one can buy from most convenience stores around Easter to blow eggs with if one wants to paint the eggs
@@laurakastrup or just use an egg shape mold???
@@kumottakun6089 like they had those in the v. era
@@xavlue did you even read Van Chao's comment? They were talking about modern era alternatives.... Don't chime in without reading the thread. 🥴
Mrs Crocombe, please teach us to make gelatin out of calves feet
I was about to write this!!!!
You have to boil them
OMG SAMEEEE
Plz don’t 😂😂😂
Sara Cox or simmer on low in a covered pot for at least 3 hours, skim the smootz off the top, strain, let cool.
I love how most people watch these at some ungodly hour knowing good and well that they're not gonna make them.
I am one of people. I admit this without shame.
God that's me right now lol
Me: I’m gonna do this!
Me: more than four steps? Ummmm maybe not
Its 2:30am dont call me out like this
Same
Of course just for entertainment :)
"Arlmonds"
"Vanillar"
God, I love this woman...
"Augustr"
British people be like:
Bri’ish
It's the English accent, it's easier to slur some sounds together,
especially if one word ends with a vowel and the next word starts with one
I think "Angelicar" is my favorite
"Oh thank you Sylvia. You can take this and make an omelette."
Sylvia: "Thank you, Mrs. Crocombre. I love eating an egg with your warm spit." *chucks egg out the window*
LOL
😝🤭
Lady Braybrook: " mmmm... These omelettes are delicious. What did you season it with?"
😅
Something about this whole series makes me so happy. I love it so much. It's very interesting to see where our modern recipes have come from.
Me too!
Wafts me back to an altogether far more peaceful, ordered, cosy world. My kind of world.
HOMYGOD YESSSSS IT'S MY GIRL CROCOMBE
karis lee I love this statement so much, it's how I feel.
Moomin no one is fetishising her. I enjoy the recipes and the history. She is really good at what she does.
😂😂😂
Moomin I'm not seeing how she's been fetishised here...
Moomin You guys are okay being ruled over by a Queen who’s married to her cousin, and we Americans are the weird ones😂
"...Or, you could put them in the refrigerator..." Whooa calm down there George Jetson
Sylvia watching Ms. Crocombe wearily as she talks to the wall: What in goodness' name is a reefridergator...?
They had ice box refrigerators, especially since this is in the mid to late 19th century
😆
Everytime I watch this, I'm just laughing at how much Mrs. C is throwing shade left and right.
I love vaniller.
Sithis The Void vanillar
Vanillar is all well and good, I suppose, but give me some nutmeg, cloves and jyoon-iper berries, and I'm a happy man!
Mrs. Crocombe: blows on egg
Me: goes straight to the comments. 😂😂
Sydney Sanchez she then has the maid cook those eggs in an omelette 😳
She had to put green food coloring😂💘👃
ME TOO ! lol
Oh my you have read my mind
Lol, same
Why is mrs c so nice to Sylvia but treats Mary Anne like she’s a peasant 😂
Maybe mary anne is like her apprentice, so she's toughening her up
Or like she's an underservant?
Alyssa Rayner because Mary Anne didn’t chop thE DAMNED DRIED CHERRIES FAST ENOUGH
@@alguienporae3870 because mary ann puts milk first in her tea
@@KanishQQuotes some things can never be forgiven.
We always hear about the ice house, but I'm not entirely sure what it is.... so I googled it and and found out that Mrs Crocombe's ice was probably Norwegian as _ice was often imported into the UK from Scandinavia up until the 1950s._
Thanks for your comment. You can find out more about the ice house here: goo.gl/RjLqFR
Would you like to see more about ice in a future video?
Hey - thanks for your reply. Sure, more about ice would be cool. I just love all the little random historical tidbits thrown in there like where the ice comes from or making gelatin from calves' feet. Also, I enjoy hearing about what the servants eat and their duties. Thanks so much. Your channel is awesome.
@@EnglishHeritage Please!
English Heritage Most certainly!

THIS ICONIC LADY DESERVES HER OWN COOK BOOK!!!!!
Raul Del Rey she has...the videos are based on it
Yes! 💝
Oh boy do I have some news for you
Seconded!
@Shufei No, starring the whole Audley End household including Lord and Lady Braybrooke, their children, all the servants, the gardens, gardeners, , stable hands, horses and carriages.
Vanillar... My grandparents used to put an extra r on the end of some words too. Or in the middle like "warsh" instead of wash.
i also see a lot of older folks doing that. i heard a 6 year old doing it the other day and it was bizarre
The extra r is just how British people talk. The warsh is a more southern u.s thing.
darzey
My mom's family puts an "r" in coconut.
Lindsey Curtis
Yeah, it's just how some south US ppl talk...
" Miss Augusta'r"
I'm binge watching Mrs.Crocombe until i can't see a video that hasn't been watched
Am i the only one?
Me too... And watch them again and again, whenever UA-cam asks me 'Want to watch Mrs Crocombe....?" YESS! I click it.
Definately......NOT. it 3am and i am flying through these videos🤣🤣🤣🤣
You must be poor and unemployed
@@KanishQQuotes Whaat?.
Same 😂
Mrs crocombe looks at her dishes just like how a mother looks at her child after dressing up them with nice clothes 🥺
3:53 Sylvia seems holding her laughter so hard when being told to use those eggs to cook omelette lol
omelettes are good.
@@alexunfiltered5756 ik. When I first learnt how to make them, my brother always used to nag me to make him one 😂
Isn't the eggs already contaminated with her saliva? Hehe just saying... 😅
@@dandelionfalls2787 If you're just blowing air into the egg to expel the liquid, there should be minimal saliva in the egg. Cooking the egg would get rid of any bacteria present anyways.
@@dandelionfalls2787 Hence why she gave it to Sylvia for an omelette and didn't use it for the Lord and Lady. That's maid food 😂
The only disappointment is, it's over to quickly. I would love to see her do the cake and such. I also like the interaction with the other kitchen staff. This is just way to good, love the history and cooking techniques . I have has some experience with creating medieval feast and it is a total blast, so much fun. Thank you English Heritage😍😍
Employing historical cooking is indeed fun. I've focused more upon late 19th century pioneer style, but most the recipes I can find are really just 20th century. Most information on 19th century lifestyles focusses upon England
"I remember when I was younger, I used to make it out of" *turns to camera*... "calves' feet"
I'm legit afrait of Mrs. Crocombe
Gelatin comes from collagen, an animal by-product. If you've ever cooked a roast and put it in the fridge overnight, in the morning there will be a little bit of a Jello on it!
Is your name a drag queen name lol
@@ladyharley4885 It is!
When I was little, we use to blow the middle out of the eggs, fill them with confetti and then decorated the outside. On Easter, we would crack them over each other's heads to celebrate.
Cascarones
That was a classic! When I was little I preferred the candy eggs though
Am I the only one who hits ‘like’ even before I watch the video? All I know is- I read Mrs. Crocombe, English Heritage, I hit ‘like’.
Same, she could spend seven minutes talking about cow dung for all I care, I'd still watch!
I do it lol
I usually like videos instantly
I do too.😀❤
“When we’re at the London house, I buy imported ice” How dare London not give you enough space for an ice house.
"...if you work in a more modest house, use cocoa.."
Ironically these days baking/cooking chocolates are cheap and actual cocoa powder costs a fortune...
Almost 7 minutes of Mrs Crocombe?! You're spoiling us!
NuttyMadam OMG I LOVE YOU!!! I MISS YOU!!! So glad you love these videos too!!!
Spoiled eggs lol :P
OMG YOUR TWILIGHT VIDEOS ARE ICONIC!
I just looooooooooooooooooooooooove how she speaks!!!!!!!!!!! makes me feel peace!...
I love this series. In the future, will there be a presentation on the inner workings of the kitchen, such as how the oven and range work? Also, it would be fascinating to see how gargantuan tasks such as laundry and the washing up of dishes, things we take for granted today, were handled by the household staff.
Thanks for the suggestions!
English Heritage would love more videos on the other servants duties as well.. like mentioned above how the laundry, cleaning and the rest were done..
They do have a video for the laundry. Head of Laundry is a VERY proud Victorian lady, very quick to cut you down to size if you fail to meet her very high standards.
3:54
I love Silvia's "yaaas Omelet" look
What a breathtaking dessert and so carefully crafter (thanks for the tip regarding the eggs) Mrs. Crocombe has done it, again. We love her!
It's always a good day when we get to spend some more time in the kitchen!
Hey!
xingcat I always see you on drag race videos too!
Drag Race and Victorian cooking! All the good things in life! :)
xingcat and big old boobies
xingcat are you watching the new season?
If you worked in a more modest household" low key savage Mrs. C
3:24 her expression when she said "poke" 😂
I can imagine that mrs crocombe is smiling apon the people who are behind and make these videos. As well as her fans. I'm glad you are here to remember a very important woman!
Princess Zelda Of Hyrule Haha I'm sure she'd find UA-cam and how her recipes are taught to tons of people nowadays hard to imagine coming from her time.
So Mrs crocombe is real?
Zee H Yep
It's good that you don't need to get the gelatine out of calves feet. ☺❤
Do not be mistaken, that is what gelatin is, but getting it out of animals is a time consuming chore
Here we go again
Great man thinks alike. Humorous man shares an inside joke. ☕☕
and kinda disgusting
Cup o' Joe Dear lord thank you for that!
Cox's finest gelatine: Quality, strength, purity, delicacy...
Me: Only the finest for Lord and Lady Braebrook-
And Cheapness
Me: Snickers
These videos are amazing, and what an engaging way to learn about English traditional cooking. Excellent photography and the Mrs. Crocombe character is the icing of the cake. Please we would love to see MORE !!!
I love how you resealed the eggs wish I had thought of that later year when I used a similar process to make hallow chocolate eggs. You are truly a marvel
I'm sure nowadays we could probably just use plastic egg shells albeit with a hole in the top for pouring in the thick cream.
These are absolutely gorgeous! I'd never thought of doing Easter eggs like this
Seeing this reminded me of our visit to Audley End where they have a fabulous kitchen.
Thank you
It's filmed there
nobody:
me: *goes to the kitchen and pokes holes in all the eggs and blow em out*
No one:
Mrs Crocombe: Vanillar
Mum was British, and she would also pronounce words like 'vanilla' with a slight 'r' sound, and so do I. Its not unusual at all.
Seeing her blow the yolk out was so nostalgic. I did it all the time in Montessori school and unfortunately haven't seen anyone do it since.
She's my favorite! She doesn't talk down to the audience but takes you along, she's very prim and proper but nice. I feel like I've stepped back in time.
I reaaaaally love how Mrs Crocombe always looks so happy and proud with her cookings every time she finishes preparing one.. She's like a gleaming sunshine :"3
i agree. i know so many people that cook because they have to, but don’t actually enjoy or take pride in it. honestly, you can be proud of even the simple things. i started teaching my niece and nephew to cook when they were about 7 or 8. we had so much fun, and they were so excited to show off what they made to their mom and dad those evenings!
There we are.. marbled eggs.
She looked so proud while saying this at 6:02
Elsa Maria she always look proud in the end. But to me it's a proud as in, " I didn't really know what I was doing but I succeeded"
What beautiful and delicate marbled eggs! The piped royal icing is so intricate. Perfect timing for Easter. Thank you very much for showcasing another lovely recipe by Mrs. Crocombe. She is a gem. 😊❤️
Serena Davis As long as it’s good vaniller!
Mrs.Crocombe: *blows egg*
Me: *goes straight to the comments*
I love Mrs Crocombe so much. I find each episode of this series very enchanting thanks to her presence.
So pleasing to watch. The perfect video to unwind after a stressful day.
I find it fascinating that the chairman of the board for English Heritage is Sir Timothy Laurence, husband of Anne, The Princess Royal. Love these videos!
Idk how ive found these videos but this woman is absolutely delightful. The character is so well done and makes all the cooking seem so easy😂💜
처음에는 알고리즘 때문에 본건데 점점 찾아보게 되네
Mrs Crocombe thank you for this delicious recipe. I'll be sure to make it at my house. English Heritage, thank you for this nice and wonderful woman. 😊
This series is utterly delightful. I can't get enough of Mrs. Crocombe!
Lindsay Kvellestad Norwegian last name? :)
I am American but dang i got sucked into the Vortex of English heritage youtube videos. And now i am bing watching lol
we stan an unproblematic but shady queen
Honestly I just come for the bit where the ingredients are being measured in slow-mo. It's so relaxing!
I LOVE the slow motion. Also adore her little comments while naming the ingredients. Sadly missing this time.
So this is what Mel C's been up to.
Novympia 👀
Novympia lol yes she does look like her
Lmmfao
I just choked on my tea
Novympia 😂🤣😂
i'm supposed to be studying but i cannot resist Mrs. Crocombe
I love this. So creative and inventive to showcase things of the past. I also love how the lady throws shade at us.
this has to be an extremely sophisticated dish at its time 😍
The minute she started blowing through the real eggs, I decided that the egg-shaped mold you use for Jello Jigglers works just as well. LOL
True, but that wouldn't be The Victorian Way 😉
I am finishing making this dish today! My "leftover" sponge is ready and the cream is cooling. The biggest hurdle so far was finding the best gelatine substitute for the job, which really indicates a totally doable recipe for the modern baker. Can't wait to see how it all turns out.
I love this channel and show. It’s so soothing and I love seeing how things are made. So much better than all things from a box like today.
🐣. HAPPY EGG DAYS .......... Thank you Mrs . Crocombe . You are a ✨⭐️✨STAR .
I find it almost impossible to imagine the wonderful "Mrs Crocombe" in the modern world. These videos are amazingly immersive ❤!
This series is so quaint, so sweet, so calming, and so educational! You have a new subscriber here for sure!
Thanks for subscribing. More coming soon!
I like how unique these videos are and the fact that it's nicely edited adds to the fact that it's a great video. Good and easy to read tutorial and some darn good commentary!
I had to stop the video just to say how much I love and appreciate these videos. Thank you so much for this!
I absolutely adore Mrs. Crocombe😍. I wish I could visit this location and dine on many of these delicious recipes!!!!
3:24 that slight wink while doing the egg. Ghaaad. 😂😂
These videos are all so wholesome, i binge the entire playlist like once a month.
This is just brilliant! We love you Mrs. Crocombe! 💕💕
Absolutely love this series! Mrs Crocombe is my fav ❤️❤️❤️
I love the sound every time something is poured its so refreshing to hear
I find watching this lady comforting.
She's back!!! :D Really love this series, you guys are doing an amazing job, keep it up!
That cheeky wink, Mrs Crocombe, i'm blushing!
More please! I love Mrs. Crocombe. When I am having a stressful day, I love to watch these videos and they instantly relax me, and it's so interesting to see how our ancestors prepared dishes that in today's world, can easily come pre-made in a box and take 10 minutes to prepare, but they didn't have that option back then.
Always a pleasure to watch her. Much blessings and hope you keep posting more of Mrs. Crocombe
If I may make a suggestion: A lot of the the recipes that Mrs. Crocombe is making are for sweets and desserts. I would love to see more savoury dishes featured in your videos. Otherwise, I love your channel. Please keep up the excellent work.
THIS IS THE MOST AWESOME CHANNEL ! WOW , JUST WOW. BRILLIANT. I LITERALLY FEEL THEY TOOK UA-cam BACK IN TIME
She went full Nigella Lawson with the "poke it in and waggle it around" line.
I love mrs crocombe . Pls upload more of her recipes and cooking videos they are just the best . Looking forward for more fun videos of her cooking .
I love this series so much! Thank you for making such top quality videos.
I love this serie so much!!!! I'm literally obssesd with Victorian Era, and those videos are really intresting! ❤
Clearly Silvia is the favorite, her tone and everything she ever says to her is thank you.
This is literally the only way I’m doing Easter eggs, from here on out. Ms. Cumcromb, you are without a doubt a beam of light and inspiration!
I love this series..She is teaching me a lot about cooking different foods.I am thinking of making some of her recipes. They look so good.
I was actually blowing out eggs earlier, to decorate them for Easter with my nephew later...and it was really hard to get the stuff out. Now I know why...I didn’t poke through the insides!
Also: this recipe is genius. We already decide to make the apple hedgehog from an earlier video and I think we‘ll make this as well 🤗
Rara Avis that was such a nice comment about you and your nephew then I saw your profile picture and I feared for his life
Mrs Crocombe be out here throwing shade. I love it
How this hasn’t been expanded and adapted to be a TV show is beyond me. Who wants Delia or Nigella when you can have Mrs Crocombe. The historical aspect alone is fascinating.
Im so glad to see another video with the lovely Mrs. Crocombe that I automatically liked it before watching! 😊
Idk but I'm so excited to see these notifications of the videos. I'm smiling through the entire episode. Can't wait for the other one.
Everything looks so aesthetically pleasing ugh-
UGH-
I LOVE IT-
Come through communicable disease. Side note though I saw this the week I moved into my new home, and it brings me so much joy to be back here and reminded of how far my life has come
