Fruit whips are desserts made from puréed fruit and whipped egg whites. Almost any raw, dried, or cooked fruit may be used, such as apple, strawberry, raspberry, apricot, cherry, fig, pineapple, or rhubarb.
Fruit whips are usually uncooked, but some variants are cooked; they may be served plain, with a sauce of fruit juice, custard, or cream, or over a sponge cake or ladyfingers. The uncooked variants are similar to mousse, while the cooked variants are similar to soufflé. There are also variants that use whole eggs, gelatin, or farina.
Fruit whips are normally made by whipping the egg white then mixing in the puréed and sweetened fruit pulp. Some recipes call for using a blender, while others require the fruit to be mashed or sieved.
