Alexandria Iced Pudding

Place two breakfast cupfuls of milk or cream in a saucepan with the yolks of four eggs and sugar to the taste, and stir them into a custard; next turn this custard into a basin, and when it becomes cold, mix in four ounces of ratafia cakes, broken in pieces, and rubbed through a sieve, and flavor with two or three drops of extract of bitter almonds; pack the basin in ice, and freeze until the mixture has been reduced to the freezing-point. Place a layer of this iced mixture at the bottom of a mould, and on top of this arrange a few strawberries preserved whole, and from which the syrup has been thoroughly drained, having dipped them, one at a time, into lemonjuice. Continue to put in layers, as above, until all the ingredients are used, then return the mould to the ice, and let it remain there for a couple of hours, turn the pudding out onto a dish, and serve.
