Harlequin Frozen Dessert
Origin: Madrid, Spain
Source: Anonymous, 1921
Ingredients
- 1 half strawberry ice cream
- 1 half mantecado (whipped frozen cream dessert)
- ice
Instructions
- If serving as a molded cheese-style frozen dessert (queso helado): Fill one half of the mold with strawberry ice cream.
- Layer the other half with mantecado (whipped frozen cream).
- Cover the mold, then pack ice around the entire exterior for two hours.
- Remove carefully at the moment of serving.
- Alternatively, if serving in individual glasses rather than as a molded form: Keep the two ice creams in their respective ice cream makers.
- Divide each into halves and layer them lengthwise in the glasses—one half strawberry, one half mantecado—to create a striped effect.
