Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Dried prunes (pitted)
- 2 cups Water
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 3 large Egg whites
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
Rinse the dried prunes under cold water to remove any residue.
In a medium saucepan, combine the prunes and 2 cups of water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for about 10 minutes, or until the prunes are soft and plump.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the prunes cool slightly. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the prunes to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. If the prune mixture is too thick, add a tablespoon of the cooking liquid at a time to achieve a smooth consistency.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites and a pinch of salt with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.
Gradually add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat on high speed. Beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.
Gently fold the prune puree into the whipped egg whites, one-third at a time, until fully incorporated. Be careful not to deflate the mixture.
Add the vanilla extract and fold gently to combine.
Spoon the prune whip into individual serving dishes or a single large dish. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
