Philadelphia Ice-cream. Genuine Philadelphia ice-cream is understood to be a composition of pure cream, sugar, and flavor. The cream may be rich or thin, but milk of poor quality will not answer. If the cream be exceeding rich it may be diffi- cult to freeze and may contain grains of butter; so it should be made cold, before any other work is done, by keeping it in a pan of ice-water for half an hour. The cream furnished by city milkmen is not likely to be found too rich, but when one is supplied by a Jersey cow it is best to use half milk and half cream. DESSERT. B77 To make ice-cream, mix three pints of cream, a gen- erous half -pint of sugar, and the flavor; and after letting the mixture stand for twenty minutes in the freezer, carefully packed in ice and salt, turn the crank for twenty minutes. The cream will then be hard and smooth. If vanilla be the flavor chosen, use a scant table-spoonful ; if lemon, use a little more than half a table-spoonful. Or, instead of using lemon extract, one may put the juice and grated rind of two lemons into a stew-pan with the half-pint of sugar and half a cupful of water, and after boiling for ten minutes, strain the syrup, cool it, and add it to the plain cream. Of course, other flavors besides lemon and vanilla may be used. Arrowroot Ice-cream. For a gallon of ice-cream use one quart of milk, two quarts of cream, one pint of sugar, two table-spoonfuls of arrowroot, and a table-spoonful of vanilla.
