Unusual to see a recipe for a TEA parfait! archive.org/details/b28093…

Light your ice cream on fire! Senn shows you how: archive.org/details/b28093…

Honestly, I'm not sure you'd taste the coffee over the Kirsch but you'd just have to try both ways to find out! Darn. Gosh. What a shame.

Wouldn't it be great to see an array of ice creams done up in the different molds? archive.org/details/b28093…

Charles Howard Senn has all the classics covered, including chocolate: archive.org/details/b28093…

Perhaps you prefer sorbet? Senn has you covered there, too: archive.org/details/b28093…

Charles Herman Senn's 1907 'Ices, and how to make them' may not be the most dietary-requirement-friendly collection of recipes but it does all look pretty tasty: archive.org/details/b28093…

How to make and serve a wide variety of 'Fancy Ices,' including Argentine Pudding, Alexandra Moscovite, and Berlin Cherry Cream! (And that's just the As and Bs!) archive.org/details/b29314…

'Massey and son's biscuit, ice, & compote book, or, The essence of modern confectionery : containing many receipts never before published, including their Anglo-Russe, new system of serving dinners': archive.org/details/b21504…

Are you a sorbet fan? We've got that, too! archive.org/details/b28768…

The MHL has all your cooling dessert needs met! (If you want to cook like you're in the nineteenth century.) 'Ices, and how to make them : a popular treatise on cream, water, and fancy dessert ices, ice puddings, mousses, parfaits,...' archive.org/details/b28057…

Check out what the MHL collection has to say about 'summer' (spoiler: a lot of it has to do with epidemic disease): archive.org/details/medica…
