Add a tablespoonful of powdered sugar, and fold in quickly |six tablespoonfuls of cream whipped to a stiff froth. Heap at once into a pretty stem glass dessert dish, dust with powdered sugar and serve.
Pare one very ripe banana; the skin must be almost black, but the flesh must be sweet and good. Whip it quickly with an egg-beater, add a teaspoonful of powdered sugar and a tablespoonful of orange juice, and then fold in six tablespoonfuls of cream whipped to a stiff froth; dust with powdered sugar and serve at once.
