When it is at room temperature, slice the fruit, dry it in paper towel, dip it in the sugar syrup and place it over a nonstick paper over a sheet tray. Bake in a very mild 150 degree oven for 2 hours until they are dry and crisp. Flip them upside down after about one hour.

Strain it and put it in the ice cream machine. Work it until it becomes smooth and add the egg white just before it's ready.
