Ingredients
Instructions
- Wash and quarter the apples, removing seeds, then boil until soft.
- Drain the apples into another pot and sieve to make a puree.
- Add gelatine to the drained apple liquid and dissolve it.
- Add sugar to the liquid and bring back to a boil, then remove from heat and let cool.
- Once cooled, pour the liquid into a bowl, add the apple puree, and whip until foamy.
- Pour the mixture into serving cups and serve.
Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother apple puree, ensure the apples are thoroughly cooked before draining. If you prefer a plant-based option, consider using agar-agar instead of gelatine. Adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of your apples; tart varieties may require more. Remember to whip the mixture gently to maintain its airy texture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Apple Whip chilled in individual cups, garnished with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dollop of whipped cream. It pairs beautifully with a slice of cake or as a light dessert after a hearty meal. For a unique twist, try adding a splash of Violet Honey for extra flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The texture may change slightly over time, so gently re-whip before serving if needed. Avoid freezing, as it can affect the consistency of the whip.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of apples for this recipe?
Yes, you can use any variety of apples, though sweeter apples like Fuji or Honeycrisp will yield a sweeter whip. Tart apples like Granny Smith will create a more tangy flavor, which can be balanced with additional sugar.
Is there a vegan alternative to gelatine I can use?
Absolutely! You can substitute gelatine with agar-agar, which is derived from seaweed and is a great plant-based thickener. Follow the package instructions for the appropriate amount to use, as it may differ from gelatine.
How can I make this recipe more flavorful?
You can enhance the flavor by adding spices such as cinnamon or nutmeg while boiling the apples. Additionally, a splash of lemon juice can brighten the taste, and incorporating a hint of vanilla extract will add a lovely aroma and depth.
