Ice Cream Leads The Parade
By Mrs. Richard C. Spence
Here’s a way to give the youngsters a treat that goes
with the Easter season—using ice cream, THE favorite des
sert. All four of these ice cream ideas are simply scrump
tious and certainly befitting the occasion
The first of this tasty four
some is called Easter Petites.
It’s ice cream served up
daintily on crunchy merin
gues. This recipe is one you
will do well to copy. It calls
for the addition of semi
sweet chocolate, that lends
its own rich flavor to the
delicate meringue. Or, for a
little variation, scatter con
fetti-colored decorettes midst
the airy swirls The decor
ettes impact a gay, spring-like
touch. Serve chocolate and
vanilla ice cream balls (use
a melon -ball cutter to form
the shapes) with the choco
late meringue baskets and a
vanilla-strawberry combina
tion with the others. For a
final flourish, top these East
er Ice Cream Petites with
your favorite sauce

Another idea for an Easter
treat for the children is to
make Easter hats for the lit
tle dadies and plump Ice
Cream Bunnies for little
men, of ice cream, gum
drops and cereal, currants
and cinnamon candies.
The Easter Hats are fun —
and simple to make. The col
lar- and hat are cereal cook
ies, perched atop- and below
the face which is a round
scoop of ice cream. Currants
and a red cinnamon candy
make the eyes and mouth.
You’ll find it tun to decorate
the hats —they can be funny,
sedate, frivolous, or whatev
er your whimsey makes
them. A touch of marshmal
low cream on the cookie
hold the decorations in
place.
