Biscuits Glaces, Parisienne

Place six egg yolks in a copper basin, add two ounces granulated sugar and half bean vanilla. Set the basin on corner of the range and with a whisk beat up for ten minutes. Remove the basin from the range, take up the vanilla bean and beat for five minutes more; then set the basin on the ice, add six finely chopped candied marrons, six chopped candied cherries and one tablespoon of kirsch. Stir with the wooden spoon until thoroughly cold, then add a half pint whipped cream; mix for a minute, fill up six ice-cream paper cases with the preparation and neatly smooth the surface of each with the blade of a knife. Have a small freezer in an ice-cream tub with broken ice mixed with rock salt. Arrange the cases in the freezer and let freeze for two hours, remove, dress on a cold dish with a folded napkin over and serve.
