Preparation
- Step 1
Place milk in a small saucepan and sprinkle with the gelatin. Set aside for 5 minutes to soften and heat over low heat until dissolved. Set aside to cool.
- Step 2
In a large bowl, beat the cream with 1 cup of the sugar until firm peaks form when beaters are raised. Set aside.
- Step 3
Place egg yolks in a large bowl and gradually beat in remaining sugar. Beat at high speed several minutes, until mixture is thick and pale yellow. Stir in gelatin and bourbon. With a rubber spatula, fold in 1 1/84 of the cream to lighten the mixture; then fold in the remaining cream.
- Step 4
In another large bowl, with clean beaters, beat egg whites until soft peaks form when beaters are raised; fold into cream mixture. Line an 8-cup charlotte mold with ladyfingers (preferably homemade), spoon in the cream mixture and chill until set.

I don't understand this recipe. The ladyfingers aren't mentioned in the ingredient list. Also seems unusual that there is no flavor. Typically charlotte russe recipes are flavored with raspberries or something like that.
