Harlequin Frozen Dessert
Origin: Madrid, Spain
Source: Anonymous, 1920
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.
