  1. Take some small strawberry ice moulds and fill each with three different kinds of ice, such as Maraschino Cream Ice, prepared similarly to the Kirsch Cream Ice in the ‘Book of Ices,’ page 16, only substituting Maraschino for Kirsch, Pistachio Cream Ice (‘ Book of Ices,’ page 19), and red currant or Cherry Cream Ice (‘ Book of Ices,’ page 11);
  2. the ices must be well frozen, so as to prevent the different colours running into each other;
  3. close up the shapes and put them into the charged ice cave to freeze for about two and a half hours;
  4. then, when ready to serve, turn out the ices on to a clean, dry cloth.
  5. Arrange on a tall dessert dish with a pretty paper on it, a conical-shaped pyramid of spun sugar (see recipe), and then stick the little ices all over it as shown in engraving, placing between each some fern, fennel, or sprigs of chervil.
  6. Serve at once for dessert for a dinner party.
