2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Directions:

Line a 2-quart mold with vanilla ice cream. Freeze until firm, then cover vanilla ice cream with chocolate ice cream. Freeze until firm. Whip 1/2 cup of cream until stiff and blend in vanilla. Whip egg white to a soft peak, then beat in confectioners' sugar until stiff. Fold egg white into cream mixture, also the chopped cherries, citron and orange peel. Spoon this into center of molded ice cream and spread it to make a smooth layer. Cover and freeze. You may store this as long as a week in the freezer.

To unmold, dip the mold to the rim in hot water for a few seconds then invert onto a cold serving plate. Return to freezer to firm up the surface.
