RECIPE

 

 
7. Cheese as Iced Butter.
  Boil for a few minutes a pint of cream with rasped lemon-
peel and a good teaspoonful of orange-flower water ; when
taken off the fire, add a dozen yolks of eggs well beaten up,
and mix together without boiling ; pass through a sieve and
put into an icing-pot to freeze, working it in the same way as
ices. It must be iced in such a manner that you may take
it with a spoon to serve, like pats of butter stamped with bits
of clear ice between to appear like crystals.
