Ingredients
- 1 pint of cream
- 1/3 cupful of sugar
- 1/4 cupful of blanched almonds
- 1 teaspoonful of vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoonful of rosewater
- 4 tablespoonfuls of sherry
- one quarter cupful of cold water
- 1/4 box of gelatine
Directions
1 pint of cream. 1/4 box of gelatine. 1/3 cupful of sugar. 1/4 cupful of blanched almonds. 1 teaspoonful of vanilla. 1/2 teaspoonful of rosewater. 4 tablespoonfuls of sherry.
Put a bowl containing the cream on ice; whip it to a stiff froth; add slowly the sugar, then the gelatine (which has first been soaked an hour in one quarter cupful of cold water, and then dissolved by placing the cup in hot water), beating all the time. Add the vanilla and rosewater, and enough green coloring (see page 392) to give it a delicate color. When it begins to stiffen add the sherry, and lastly the almonds chopped fine. When the cream is quite firm put it in round paper boxes, and sprinkle over the top a little colored sugar, or chopped pistachio nuts and granulated sugar mixed. Let it stand an hour or more on ice before serving.
