Some makers of Ice Creams set three-parts of the cream on the fire with half of the sugar; beat the yolks light with the other half of the sugar, and thin up with a part of the hot cream; put eggs and cream together, and, as soon as it begins to thicken, check the boiling by adding the one part of cold cream, which had been left out for this purpose. The cream is then strained, cooled and frozen as usual. 705.— FRENCH CREAMS. The French creams are made in the same man- ner as the Italian creams; but the preparations differ considerable in richness. While some of the creams of this class are made of cream only in connection with eggs; others are made of half milk and half cream, and some of milk only, with plenty of eggs, like a frozen custard. 706.— FRENCH CREAM.

Strain, cool, flavor and freeze. 709 —PHILADELPHIA ICE CREAM. This name is generally applied to Ice Creams made with pure cream, and without any eggs, although some makers use about five eggs to each gallon of cream, with two pounds of sugar. The cream and sugar is heated near the boiling point, cooled and frozen. The heating of the cream is the best method, for it gives mere body to the cream and makes it smoother. If the sugar is dissolved in the cream without heating, the cream bulks more, but loses the fine texture of the heated creams, 710.— COMMERCIAL ICE CREAMS. Where quantity is more required than quality, root and sago flour, in proportion from three to six ounces to each gallon, is boiled into a smooth batter, with a part of the milk and the sugar; strained, cooled and frozen. Gelatin should be soaked and dissolved in warm milk, but not boiled, as this would cause the milk to curdle. About one and one-half to two ounces of gelatin are used for one gallon of cream and milk. Another thickener for Ice Creams is used cold. The preparation is known to the trade as cream- thick, it is something like a dry milk powder. The thickener is mixed with the sugar to be used, the cold milk or cream added gradually. As soon as the sugar is dissolved, the cream is ready to be frozen. 711.— COMMERCIAL ICE CREAM. NO. i. PHILADELPHIA ICE CREAM. 1 gallon cream, 4 eggs, i^ lbs. sugar, flavoring. Mix all well together cold, flavor vanilla, lemon or orange. Freeze as directed for cold mixtures. 712.— PLAIN ICE CREAM. 2 quarts milk, 2 quarts cream, i^ lbs. sugar, 3 ozs. cornstarch, arrowroot, or sago-flour, 4 whole eggs. Break the eggs in a basin and beat light with a small part of the sugar. Set milk and sugar on the fire. Dissolve the starch, or the other thick, ener, in a little cold milk. When the milk reaches the boiling point, add the starch, stir till it thickens and pour it over the beaten eggs, stirring constantly. Add the cream, strain, cool, flavor to suit, and freeze. This recipe may be made without eggs. Caterers' Standard Ice Cream, Best Quality
