Instructions (6)
  1. Prepare two custards for this ice, one of banana, as below, and one of cinnamon (' Book of Ices,' page 13).
  2. Line a bomb mould about one inch thick with the banana custard, and fill up the centre with the cinnamon custard.
  3. Place the cover on the mould and put it into the charged ice cave for three to four hours, during which time turn it round now and again so that the ice becomes evenly frozen.
  4. When ready to serve dip the mould into cold water, pass a clean cloth over the bottom to absorb any moisture, and turn out the ice on to a dish.
  5. Garnish it with a compote of strawberries or any other nice fruit that has been freed from the stalks, and mixed with a little Maraschino syrup, and kept on ice for a little time, then coloured with a few drops of Marshall's Carmine.
  6. Serve for dinner or dessert.
