Frozen Pudding

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Freeze the cream until it's firm enough to mold.

  2. Place preserved fruit or large strawberries in the bottom of a melon-shaped mold, spaced about an inch apart.

  3. Add a layer of ice cream over the fruit.

  4. Repeat layering with fruit, pounded almonds, and ice cream until the mold is full.

  5. Cover the mold with a cloth and seal it tightly with a lid.

  6. Pack the mold in a mixture of salt and ice for four to five hours.
