Princess Clotilde Peaches
Pêches à la Princesse Clotilde
Put some peach moulds in the charged ice cave for half an hour, then line them with peach ice (' Book of Ices,' page 18) about a quarter-inch thick; put on this a layer of strawberry ice (' Book of Ices,' page 22), and fill up the moulds with chocolate ice (' Book of Ices,' page 12); close up the moulds and place them in the charged ice-cave for three and a half to four hours; then turn out the peaches in the usual way on to a clean cloth; brush over the outsides of each with a little powdered carmine, using a small brush for the purpose; dust them over with a little castor sugar, and return them to the charged ice cave for about half an hour before serving. Dish up on a border of plain ice (see recipe Princess Melon), which is arranged in the centre of a dish on a paper, and garnish with maidenhair-fern leaves and spun sugar (see recipe). Serve for a sweet for dinner or for a dessert ice.
