Ice Cream
2 quarts cream, 1 pound sugar; flavor
with vanilla. Let stand in freezer five minutes
to become thoroughly cold. To make it extra light,
beat the whites of 2 eggs to a stiff froth, and add
just before the cream is frozen. This should
freeze in twenty minutes, and will make one gallon
of cream.
Banana Ice
6 bananas, 3 peaches, 3 lemons, 1
quart sugar, 1 quart boiling water. Pour hot
water over the sugar and lemon juice, and stir until
it is dissolved. When cool add peaches and bananas
sliced thin, and let stand two hours; then strain
through fine sieve, so nothing is left but liquid.
Then freeze.
Lalla Rookh
Cut in small pieces stale sponge cake
or lady fingers, a few macaroons, some French cherries
and apricots (glace), and mix all together.
Make a custard of 1 quart milk and 6 eggs, and when
cooked, reserve 1 cupful for a sauce, and add to the
remainder 1/4 ounce of gelatine. Put the mixture
of cake and fruit in an ice cream mold and strain the
custard over it, and place it in the freezer, as you
would ice cream.
Sauce. Add to the
cup of custard reserved 1/2 pint of whipped cream,
and vanilla to taste.
