( A Finnish Dessert)
With the back of a large spoon, rub the fresh or thoroughly defrosted
frozen strawberries through a fine sieve into a small mixing bowl. Stir
into this puree the 1/2 cup sugar, a little at a time. Using a balloon-type
wire whisk, beat the egg whites and salt vigorously in a large bowl
(preferably of unlined copper) until the whites are stiff enough to form
unweavering peaks when the beater is lifted out of the bowl. With a gentle
under-over cutting motion rather than a stirring motion, use a rubber
spatula to fold first the strawberry puree and then the whipped cream into
the egg whites. Pour the strawberry snow into an attractive serving bowl,
or individual dessert bowls, and decorate with the whole strawberries. This
dessert can be served at once, or it may be refrigerated for a few hours
and served later in the day.
