Ingredients
2 cups (packed) dried apricots
1/4 cup grand Marnier or Cognac
1/2 cup heavy cream or evaporated low fat milk
4 egg whites
Pinch sugar
1/2 cup sugar
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a food processor, puree the apricots with the liqueur and cream. Transfer to a bowl.
- Beat the egg whites until somewhat stiff, then gradually beat in the sugar and continue to beat until stiff and glossy.
- With a rubber spatula, fold half the egg whites into the fruit puree, then fold the puree back into the remaining egg whites; fold until well blended. Spoon the mixture into four 3/4 cup capacity oven proof ramekins or custard cups.
- Set cups in a deep baking pan and pour about an inch of hot water, straight from the tap into the baking pan. Set in oven and bake for 30 minutes. Serve immediately.
