CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM.--One quart of cream, one pint of milk, one even
pint of powdered sugar, one tablespoonful of vanilla, six eggs, one
teacup grated chocolate. Mix sugar, chocolate, cream and milk, and
bring to the boiling point in a porcelain kettle; then draw the kettle
to the back of the stove, and stir in the mixture, six yolks and four
whites, which have been beaten separately and together. Draw the kettle
forward again, stir constantly till the mixture looks like thick cream,
then take it from the stove and add the remaining whites, which have
been well beaten. When slightly cooled add vanilla. When cold pour
in freezer and freeze. This quantity is enough for twelve persons.
Chocolate must be dissolved in a little boiling water.
NEW YORK ICE CREAM.--One full quart of cream, one coffee cup of
powdered sugar, four eggs, three teaspoonfuls of vanilla. Beat the
yolks and whites separately, then put together and stir in one pint
of cream. When it reaches the boiling point draw cream to back of
stove until the whole is well mixed, then draw forward, stir until it
thickens, about three minutes. Cool, add the other pint of cream, then
the vanilla. Freeze.
NEAPOLITAN CREAM.--Make a vanilla, a chocolate and a strawberry cream;
freeze in separate freezers, and fill a mould the form of a brick in
three smooth layers of equal size.
COFFEE ICE CREAM.--Make the same as vanilla, with the addition of
coffee, of which take a cupful ground moderately fine, put over it just
enough water to keep it simmering until strong, then pour through a bit
of cheesecloth, and when cool into the cream ready for freezing.
WALNUT ICE CREAM.--One pint of the meat of walnuts (American are the
best), pounded fine in a mortar, one pint of milk, one quart of cream,
two small cupfuls of sugar, four eggs and a quarter of a teaspoonful of
salt. Beat eggs with one cupful of sugar; put them and the milk into
double boiler and stir constantly until the mixture begins to thicken.
Then add salt and put away to cool. When cold add the rest of the
sugar, cream and nut meats, and freeze.
