Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams prunes (pitted)
- 500 milliliters water
- 50 grams sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
Rinse the prunes under cold water to remove any impurities and place them in a medium saucepan.
Add 500 ml of water to the saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer the prunes for about 20 minutes, or until they are soft and plump.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the prunes to cool slightly. Reserve 100 ml of the cooking liquid.
Transfer the cooked prunes and the reserved cooking liquid to a blender or food processor. Add the sugar and lemon juice, then blend until smooth and creamy.
Pour the prune mixture into a large mixing bowl and allow it to cool completely to room temperature.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the cooled prune mixture in three batches, being careful not to deflate the airiness.
Spoon the prune whip into individual serving bowls or glasses and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
Serve chilled and garnish with a sprig of fresh mint or a sprinkle of crushed nuts, if desired.
