Frozen creamy dessert with candied fruit

Cooking

Step 1

Sprinkle a sheet of foil with water, cover with cling film, press down. Thanks to the water, the film will adhere well to the foil.

Step 2

Place the foil-foil sandwich in a rectangular or round tall dish, foil down, foil up. Press firmly against the mold walls and bottom. In this case, the edges of the "sandwich" should hang down by 8-10 cm.

Step 3

Rinse raisins, pour warm boiled water. Roast the nuts in a hot dry frying pan, crush into large crumbs. Cut candied fruit into small pieces. Whip the cream with a mixer at high speed until a stable but soft foam, 3 minutes, refrigerate. Pour sugar into a saucepan, pour in 40 ml of water and, stirring constantly, bring to a boil, 5 minutes.

Step 4

Beat egg whites with a mixer. Continuing to beat at the slowest speed, pour in the hot sugar syrup in a thin stream. Increase the speed and beat until the whites are stable on the whisk.

Step 5

Add whipped cream to the egg whites, mix gently with a spatula. Then add candied fruits, raisins, nuts and zest. Mix again.

Step 6

Transfer the mass to the prepared form, smooth the surface. Cover with the free edges of the film with foil and place in the freezer for at least 1 hour. Remove the frozen cassette from the mold, turn it over onto a dish, remove the foil and film.
