CHILLED BLACKBERRY SNOW
The swirled layers of iced fruit puree and creamy egg white are very effective in this recipe but you do need to finish it off just before it is needed and serve immediately. The recipe comes from the southeast of England.
Servings: 6

450 g, (1 lb) Blackberries, fresh or frozen, thawed
2 Egg whites*
50 g (2 oz) Caster sugar
300 ml Double cream

Puree the blackberries and rub through a nylon sieve. Pour the puree into a rigid container and freeze for about 2 hours.

Whisk the egg whites until stiff, then add the sugar gradually, whisking until the mixture stands in soft peaks.

Whip the cream until it just holds its shape.

Remove the frozen blackberry pur e from the freezer and mash to break down any large ice crystals, being careful not to break it down completely.

Fold the cream and egg whites together, then quickly fold in the semi-frozen blackberry puree to form a swirled effect. Spoon into tall glasses and serve immediately.
