How to Make Prune Whip

  1. If using dried prunes, combine 1 cup dried prunes with 1 cup water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until prunes are soft and plump. Drain, reserving the cooking liquid.
  2. Combine the cooked prunes (or 1 cup of pre-cooked prunes), 1/4 cup of the reserved prune cooking liquid, 1/4 teaspoon salt, the zest of 1 lemon, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar in a blender.
  3. Blend on high speed for 20 seconds, or until completely smooth and pureed.
  4. In a clean, grease-free large bowl, beat 3 large egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff, glossy peaks form. (Ensure eggs are very fresh and washed thoroughly).
  5. Gently fold the prune puree into the egg whites in two additions, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
  6. Spoon the prune whip into individual serving dishes or glasses.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 45 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the whip to set.
  8. Before serving, top each serving with a dollop of whipped cream (optional).
