Almond Custard, with Cocoanut Frost.
2 cups fresh milk, with a pinch of soda stirred in; ½ lb. almonds, blanched, dried, and pounded; 3 beaten eggs; ½ cup powdered sugar; rose-water; 1 cocoanut, pared, thrown into cold water, and grated.
Scald the milk; stir in the almond-paste, which should have been mixed with rose-water, to prevent oiling. Boil one minute, and pour upon the beaten eggs and sugar. Return to the fire, and stir until the mixture begins to thicken. Take off, and pour into a bowl. When cold, put on ice until Sunday. Then turn the custard into a glass dish, and heap high with the grated cocoanut. Strew powdered sugar over all.
