Angel Pudding (American).—Lightly beat together
the whites of six eggs, but without frothing them,
mix them smoothly with half a pound of powdered
sugar, and then add in a pint of cream; stir this all
over the fire in the bain-marie till scalded, but mind
it does not boil. Now lift it off the fire, and whisk
it lightly till it is cold, to get it light. (It should be
lifted horizontally in the spoon not beaten down-
wards in the usual way, to get as much air into it as
possible, the process in fact known to French cooks
as to vanner any sauce). When this cream is cold
add two good tablespoonfuls of noyeau or mara-
schino, and freeze (if preferred orange flower or rose
water can be used instead of the liqueur). When it is
frozen to a stiff batter, stir into it some marrons
glacés, cut up into not too small pieces, and an
Italian meringue, made with the whites of two eggs
whisked to a froth, with a tablespoonful of hot
syrup. Turn it into a mould and freeze for three to
four hours. This ice takes rather longer to freeze
than most.
