TANGY PRUNE WHIP



Tangy Prune Whip image

This is delicious though an unusual dessert that my children really enjoyed (just don't tell anyone you made it with PRUNES!). So light and fluffy, it's perfect after a big meal or when you just want a 'taste'. Please note that raw egg whites are called for so ONLY use fresh eggs that have no cracks. Always wash your eggs well before cracking them open. Please note that times may vary with each cook as we all work differently and that a 1st time recipe usually takes extra care.
