Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 medium-sized Feijoas
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- Feijoa slices or mint leaves (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Wash and halve the feijoas. Scoop out the flesh with a spoon and discard the skins. You should have approximately 1 cup of feijoa flesh.
Place the feijoa flesh in a blender or food processor along with the lemon juice. Blend until smooth and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, pour the heavy cream. Use an electric mixer to whip the cream on medium speed until it begins to thicken.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the whipped cream. Continue whipping until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
Gently fold the feijoa puree into the whipped cream mixture using a spatula. Mix until just combined, being mindful not to deflate the whipped cream.
Divide the feijoa whip into serving glasses or bowls. Smooth the tops with a spoon.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
Optional: Garnish with fresh feijoa slices or mint leaves for presentation before serving.
