Vallombrosa Strawberry Cream
Crème de Fraises à la Vallombrosa
Prepare a lemon-water ice (' Book of Ices,' page 27) and a strawberry cream ice (' Book of Ices,' page 22); freeze the two mixtures separately in the charged freezer; then take a fancy dessert ice mould, and line it with the lemon-water ice; fill up the centre with the strawberry cream; put the cover on the mould, and place it in the charged ice cave for about three and a half hours; then turn out the mould in the usual way on to a dish on a paper, garnish it with small assorted shapes made from the same ices, and sprinkle over all a little blanched and finely-chopped or shredded pistachio. Use for a dessert ice.
