Request: From: [email hidden] (Katy) I am looking for a
light and fluffy dessert. Something which is easy to fix and
not too many calories.
You need a food processor & electric mixer for this.
Fruit Fluff
6 oz hard-frozen[1] fruit[2] (in smallish pieces) 1 lg egg
white[3] 2 tsp lemon juice
1/8 - 1/4c sugar (depending on sweetness of fruit)
2.5 tsp fruit liqueur or spirits[4] or 1/4 tsp vanilla
extract or 1/8 tsp almond extract
Finely chop the frozen fruit in the food processor, scrape
down the bowl as needed, and continue to process until it
looks like snow. Put the bowl back in the freezer and let
refreeze for 30 min or so. Re-chop the fruit for a few
seconds to break it up again, and then turn into a chilled
bowl with the remaining ingredients. Whip with the electric
mixer on high until the mixture becomes fluffy. This will
happen pretty suddenly and will take 3-5 minutes. This can
be served immediately or frozen--keeps frozen & covered for
2 days. This makes about 3 cups, and can easily be doubled.
[3]This really has to be *hard* frozen--if you've got an
iffy freezer I wouldn't count on this working.
[4]Most fruit works for this on taste, but note that the
color will be very pale--bright colors like blueberries
are definitely prettier. If you want to use something
with seeds (e.g., raspberries, concord grapes), puree the
fresh fruit & sieve to remove the seeds, pour into a
shallow pan to freeze, and break up into 1" chunks.
[5]Raw eggs--caution salmonella.
[6]Rum works well with most fruit, and eau de vie is of
course perfect.
