|
| How To Cook: |
|
|
1. With the back of a large spoon, rub the fresh or thoroughly defrosted frozen strawberries through a fine sieve into a small mixing bowl. Stir into this puree the ½ cup of sugar, a little at a time.
|
2. Using a balloon-type wire whisk, beat the egg whites and salt vigorously in a large bowl (preferably of unlined copper) until the whites are stiff enough to form unwavering peaks when the beater is lifted out of the bowl.
|
3. With a gentle under-over cutting motion rather than a stirring motion, use a rubber spatula to fold first the strawberry puree and then the whipped cream into the egg whites.
|
4. Pour the strawberry snow into an attractive serving bowl, or individual dessert bowls, and decorate with the whole strawberries.
|
5. This dessert can be served at once, or it may be refrigerated for a few hours and served later in the day.
