Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider adding a banana or avocado to the mix. If you prefer a dairy-free option, substitute the nonfat dry milk powder with almond milk powder. Be sure to use fresh strawberries for the best flavor, or swap them for any seasonal fruit you have on hand. This recipe is versatile and can be adjusted to suit your taste.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the fruit whip cold in individual bowls or glasses, garnished with additional fresh fruit or a mint sprig for a pop of color. It pairs beautifully with the Rosamarina Dessert for a delightful brunch spread or can be enjoyed as a light dessert after a meal. For a refreshing summer treat, serve alongside a light salad or light protein.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The fruit whip can separate slightly, so give it a gentle stir before serving again. Avoid freezing, as the texture may change significantly when thawed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen strawberries instead of fresh ones?
Yes, you can use frozen strawberries, but be aware that they may make the mixture slightly more watery. If using frozen, consider reducing the water slightly or blending the mixture while the strawberries are still partially frozen for a thicker consistency.
Is it safe to use raw egg in this recipe?
Using raw egg can pose a risk of salmonella. To ensure safety, you can use pasteurized eggs or substitute with a tablespoon of chia seeds mixed with water to mimic the binding properties of the egg in this recipe.
How can I make this recipe vegan?
To make this fruit whip vegan, omit the egg and replace the nonfat dry milk powder with a plant-based milk powder, like almond or coconut. Additionally, ensure the orange juice is fresh and organic to maintain the vegan aspect.
