Cream—Italian or Chantilly Cream. No. 1.
The best (like ours at Turin) is only well-sweetened plain whipped cream, flavoured with essence of lemon, vanilla, orange-flower water, or what you will. 1 pt. cream, 2 ozs. sugar, and a pounded stick of vanilla.
(No wine, no lemon-juice.)
Ornament if you like with sponge (“Lady’s finger.”) biscuits divided and cut into shapes. Serve with fruit tarts. This cream is used in Charlotte Russe and many other recipes.
