Florida Mousses
Petites Mousses à la Florida
Prepare a strawberry mousse ('Book of Ices,' page 33)
and a maraschino mousse (see next page), using in both
cases only half the quantities given therein, and with these
mixtures fill up some ballette moulds, putting the
maraschino mousse in one, the strawberry mousse in
another, and soon, until the required number are filled;
place them on the bottom of the charged ice cave for about
two hours, during which time turn them round occasionally.
Prepare one pint and a half of lemon-water ice (see
recipe), partly freeze it in a freezer, then put it into a
special timbal mould, and place this in the charged ice cave
for about two and a half hours. When the timbal and the
mousses are sufficiently frozen dip the former into cold
water, pass a clean cloth over the bottom to absorb any
moisture, then turn it out on to a serviette or dish-paper
in the centre of a dish. Dip the ballette moulds sepa-
rately into cold water, and turn out the mousses on to a
clean cloth, and arrange them in the timbal as shown in
engraving, garnish it with maidenhair fern, and serve at
once for a dinner sweet or for dessert.
