Fruit whips are desserts made from puréed fruit and whipped egg whites. They are usually uncooked, but some variants are cooked; they may be served plain, or with a sauce of fruit juice, custard, or cream, [1] and possibly over a sponge cake or ladyfingers. [2]
The uncooked variants are similar to mousse, while the cooked variants are similar to soufflé. There are also variants using whole eggs, gelatin, [3] or farina. [4]
A common kind of fruit whip is prune whip, but almost any raw, dried, or cooked fruit may be used, mashed or sieved, [3] for example apple, [5] strawberry, raspberry, apricot, cherry, fig, [2] pineapple, [6] or rhubarb. [4]
Fruit whips are normally made by whipping the egg white then mixing in the puréed and sweetened fruit pulp. [7] Some modern recipes call for using a blender. [8]
