Solid Ratafia

Crumble six ounces of macaroons and two ounces of ratafia cakes, put them into a bowl, and pour upon them a pint of boiling cream sweetened and flavoured with lemon-rind. Stir the mixture till it is almost cool, and the biscuits are dissolved, then add half an ounce of isinglass or gelatine which has been dissolved in a tea-cupful of milk. Stir the cream till it is cold, pour it into a damp mould, and leave it in a cool place till firm. Turn it upon a glass dish, and serve in the same. Time, about twelve hours to set the solid. Probable cost, about 3s. Sufficient for a quart mould.
