Strawberry Ice and Vanilla Ice in One Mould

Flavour three-quarters of a pint of cream with half a stick of vanilla, by boiling them gently together for a short time; sweeten the cream, mix with it the well-whisked yolks of three eggs, and stir the mixture over a gentle fire till it begins to thicken. Strain it into a bowl. Rub ripe strawberries through a sieve, and take half a pint of the juice. Thoroughly mix with this half a pint of syrup at 35deg., and freeze the two creams in the usual way. Put an ice-mould in ice for a short time. Place in the middle of it a piece of cardboard, cut so as to fit the mould, and to divide it into two equal parts. Put the vanilla ice at one side of the division, and the strawberry ice at the other. Draw out the separating cardboard, close the mould, and surround it with ice till it is frozen. When wanted, plunge it into hot water for an instant, turn it upside down on a napkin on a dish, and serve. Sufficient for a quart of ice.
