Frozen Strawberry Whip

This is a very light dessert, and so easy to prepare. It is very refreshing and great at the end of a meal.

I used to make this icecream way back in the 1970’s, and was recently so kindly reminded of it by Sarah Sharon, who used to be our neighbor many years ago. Thanks, Sarah, for bringing this recipe to my attention once again!

This frozen dessert can be prepared as written below,  as a non-dairy treat, or if you prefer, you can whip a container of whipping cream (one cup), with 2-3 Tablespoons sugar, and then fold it into the prepared strawberry-egg white mixture. Then put it into a closed box and freeze it.

• 2 cups strawberries
• 2 egg whites
