Trieste Vanilla and Chocolate Duck
Caneton Vanille et Chocolat à la Trieste
Place a duck mould in the charged ice cave for about half an hour; then line it with vanilla ice and fill it with chocolate ice ('Book of Ices,' pages 23 and 12), and a little of the vanilla custard can be coloured yellow with Marshall's Apricot Yellow to represent the beak; close up the mould and put it in the charged ice cave for about three and a half hours, then dip it into cold water and turn out the shape on to a clean cloth. Dish it up on spun sugar (see recipe) on an oval dish, fix in two glass eyes, tie a piece of narrow white ribbon round the throat of the bird, and garnish round the base with maidenhair fern as shown in engraving. Serve for a dinner sweet or for dessert.
