What’s Cooking?
First of all, take a moment to appreciate this lovely image of our star ingredient, Prune Whip.
Ingredients Galore!
Gather ye ingredients, because we’re about to create some deliciousness that’s sure to surprise everyone! Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 cup dried prunes, pitted and chopped
- 2 cups water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon gelatin
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Optional: A sprinkle of nutmeg or cinnamon, if you want to take it up a notch!
Let’s Get Whipping!
Now that we’ve got our ingredients lined up, it’s time to embark on this fru-tastic journey! Here’s how to whisk your way to success:
- Start by soaking your chopped prunes. Combine them with water in a saucepan and bring to a gentle boil. Let them simmer for about 10-15 minutes until they’re nice and soft.
- Once your prunes are pampered and mushy, remove them from the heat and stir in the lemon juice. Trust me, the lemon is like the fairy godmother of flavors here!
- Next, blend your prunes until smooth. This luscious puree is the heart of your Prune Whip.
- In a separate bowl, dissolve the gelatin in a bit of hot water. Add the sugar to the gelatin and mix until it’s dissolved, then combine this with your prune puree.
- Now comes the fun part: whip the heavy cream in another bowl until it forms stiff peaks. Gently fold this creamy goodness into the prune mixture. Feel free to pretend you’re on a cooking show!
- Transfer the mixture to a fancy serving bowl or individual dessert cups and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set. Patience, my friend!
- Once your Prune Whip is set, garnish with a sprinkle of nutmeg or cinnamon if desired. Fancy!
