In French, Midinette is a nickname given to seamstresses. It means a sentimental and dreamer girl, but also a little frivolous. I don’t know why Maestro Escoffier gave this name to this ice cream sundae. It is not specified in his book “A Guide to Modern Cookery.”
It is ideal for a snack or as a summer dessert.
