Violat Pudding
Pouding à l’Violat
Prepare one and a half pints of vanilla custard (‘ Book of Ices,’ p. 23), to which add as much ground ginger as will cover a threepenny piece, and when it is cool freeze it to a thick consistency; add to it one pint of stiffly-whipped cream that has been mixed with half an ounce of castor sugar; mix in a wineglass of rose water, the same quantity of anisette, and one tablespoonful of brandy; re-freeze, and put it into any fancy pudding mould; place this in the charged ice cave for three and a half to four hours, then take up and turn out the pudding in the usual way on to a dish. Serve round it a macedoine of fruit (see recipe), and use for a dinner sweet or for luncheon.
