Sweet Almond Cream


Sweet Almond Cream

6 Nice Almonds.    1 Quart of Milk.    The Whites of Two Eggs.
4 Ounces of Powdered White Sugar.

Take six nice almonds and shell them. Then blanch them by throwing into boiling water and letting them stand over a very low fire for five minutes. Then throw into cold water, and take out the inner skins by rubbing them together with the hands. Whip in one quart of milk, the whites of two eggs, and four ounces of powdered sugar. Let the milk boil slowly on the fire till it is reduced one-half, and then add the almonds, which have been chopped very fine, and a big tablespoonful of Orange Flower Water and let the mixture boil for three minutes longer. Set it to cool. Then garnish with almonds that have been passed in Caramel or melted sugar and allowed to cool.
