Preparing the baskets
  1. Well oil some little fluted basket moulds and line them thinly with nougat paste (see recipe); trim the edges evenly, and when the nougat is cool turn it out of the moulds and fasten the two parts of the baskets together with a little boiled sugar (see recipe).
  2. Prepare a pint of Strawberry Custard (‘ Book of Ices,’ p. 22), freeze it to a semi-solid consistency, and fill up some little egg-shaped ice moulds with it; freeze them in the charged ice cave for two hours, then dip each into cold water; turn out the creams on to a cloth, and arrange them in the little baskets on the top of some stiffly-whipped cream that has been sweetened and flavoured with vanilla and forced into the baskets by means of a forcing bag and rose pipe.
  3. Garnish with little sprigs of maidenhair fern, dish up on an oval dish, and serve for a dinner or dessert ice.
