France. Associated with France by the book is about French cookery (Cooking, French); the recipe itself names no place (confidence 0.4). "Associated with" means only that the evidence named here links this recipe to that place. A recipe isn't labelled as representing an entire country because a source associates it with one, and regional origins are kept where the source gives them.

Ingredients
Method
- The old iced-biscuit preparation consisted of an English custard, prepared from one lb.
- of sugar, twelve egg-yolks, and one pint of milk.
- When the custard was cooked, it used to be strained into a basin, left to cool (being fanned the while), and then placed upon ice, and finished with the whisk.
- Originally this cream was moulded at this stage;
- but now it is customary to add one quart of whipped cream to it;
- which operation renders the recipe more like that of a Bombe, which, in its turn, resembles that of the preparation for Mousses.
