Swiss Cream Recipe

From LoveToKnow Recipes

Instructions
  1. Crumble a quarter of a pound of macaroons and 2 or 3 penny sponge cakes, or use a mixture of macaroons and ratafias.
  2. Lay the crumbs in a glass dish.
  3. Pour over them a glassful of sherry, and spread a spoonful or two of jam upon them.
  4. If a plain dish is required, the sherry or the jam, or both, may be omitted.
  5. Simmer the thin rind of half a lemon, or a little piece of vanilla, in half a cup of milk till it is pleasantly flavored.
  6. Add a pint of cream and as much sugar as will sweeten it pleasantly.
  7. Mix a tablespoon of corn flour smoothly with a little cold milk, and add this gradually to the rest.
  8. Stir the mixture over a gentle fire till it boils; pour it out, and stir it again till it is almost cold.
  9. Add the juice of a lemon, and pour the cream over the cakes in the dish.
  10. Ornament the top with bright-colored jelly or jam, or with strips of angelica.
  11. If liked, 2 tablespoons of arrowroot may be substituted for the corn flour, or a tablespoon of flour even may be used.
  12. The cream should stand in a cool place three or four hours before it is wanted.
