Take six eggs, one gill (1/2 cup) of simple syrup, and one pint of cream; boil it over the fire until it becomes thick; then have two ounces of powdered sugar in another stewpan, and put it over the fire; let it burn till all melts, stirring all the time, and when you see it is burnt of a fine brown color, pour the other in, mix it quickly, pass it through a sieve, and freeze it.

Biscuit Ice Cream

Break six eggs into a stewpan and beat them well with a wooden spoon; add one pint of cream, the rind of one lemon, two gills (1 cup) of simple syrup, and a little spice; boil it till you find it just thickens, stirring it all the time; crumble some Naples biscuits and ratafia biscuits; pass them through a sieve with the other ingredients, and put in your freezing pot.

Ratafia Biscuits are a crispy almond cookie popular in Scotland and commonly used in making trifle, for crumbling in puddings, and for serving after the meal with coffee. Substitute almond biscotti or almond macaroons when unavailable.

Naples Biscuits are a type of sponge cookie, also known as lady fingers and commonly used in trifles, tiramisu, and for serving with afternoon tea. Substitute sponge cake, biscotti, or a plain pound cake when unavailable.

Besides being called for in the above recipe for biscuit ice cream, these biscuits can also be served on their own to compliment the homemade parmesan ice cream recipe.
