Ingredients
- 200 grams prunes (pitted)
- 500 milliliters water
- 50 grams sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 pinch salt
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the prunes under cold water to remove any impurities and place them in a medium saucepan.
Step 2
Add 500 ml of water to the saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer the prunes for about 20 minutes, or until they are soft and plump.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the prunes to cool slightly. Reserve 100 ml of the cooking liquid.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Pour the prune mixture into a large mixing bowl and allow it to cool completely to room temperature.
Step 7
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.
Step 8
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the cooled prune mixture in three batches, being careful not to deflate the airiness.
Step 9
Spoon the prune whip into individual serving bowls or glasses and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
Step 10
Serve chilled and garnish with a sprig of fresh mint or a sprinkle of crushed nuts, if desired.
