Custard for Royal Pudding.—Take one pint of vanilla custard (' Book of Ices,' p. 23), mix with it half a pint of chocolate, prepared as below; put it into the charged freezer, and freeze it to the consistency of a batter; then add three ounces of cut blanched pistachio nuts, two ounces of preserved ginger, two ounces of greengages cut into tiny squares, and half a pint of stiffly-whipped cream; refreeze, and when dry put it into the mould.
