  • About
This plain, slope-sided mould has 2 small handles to facilitate unmoulding, and may be made of copper, aluminium or tin-lined steel. Puddings prepared in this mould are called charlottes (charlotte russe, for example, consists of Bavarian cream surrounded by sponge fingers and apple charlotte has an apple filling in a bread case) but the mould is also useful for savoury mousses, jellies and so on.
