Ingredients
Instructions
- Make sure egg whites are beaten to peaks.

Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, ensure that the egg whites are beaten to stiff peaks before folding in the other ingredients. You can substitute fresh strawberries for frozen if they are in season, but be sure to adjust the sugar based on their sweetness. Consider adding a splash of vanilla extract for extra flavor. This Strawberry Goo also makes a delightful topping for Cream Cheese Dip For Fruit.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Strawberry Goo in individual cups or bowls for a fun presentation. It pairs beautifully with a side of fresh fruit or a dollop of whipped cream. For a delightful twist, consider serving it alongside Yule Delights for a festive treat. This dish also works well as a light dessert after a hearty meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer. To maintain the texture, avoid thawing and refreezing. For serving, simply scoop out the desired amount and allow it to sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before enjoying, as this will soften it slightly for easier serving.
