Almond Cream Ice.— Blanch and pound 6oz. of
c 2
Jordan almonds, with six or seven bitter ones,
moistening it as you pound, with a spoonful of
orange flower water to keep it from oiling; then pour
on to it ½-pint of new milk, rather more than luke-
warm, cover the pan and let it stand for one or two
hours; when quite cold add it to a pint of more or
less rich custard, and freeze it to a batter, when you
add to it a few drops of essence of almonds, or a
little noyeau, and one-third of a pint of stiffly
whipped cream, and finish the freezing. A very
simple way of making this cream is to use either of
the custards above given, and flavour to taste with
essence of almond or noyeau, adding a little brandy.
