Ingredients

Method

  1. Another delicious fruit cream is made by pressing half a dozen bananas through a fine hair sieve into a basin, mixing with the fruit one and one-half pints of cream, flavored with vanilla, and then passing the whole through a fine sieve.
  2. Freeze the cream a little--till it just thickens--and then add to it a pint of cream, two tablespoonfuls of sugar and a wineglassful of Madeira.
  3. Keep in the freezer for two or three hours before serving.
