Rhubarb Mousse
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 3 egg whites, at room temperature
- 1 pinch salt
- 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons raspberry liqueur (or other fruit flavor)
- 2 cups cooked drained and pureed rhubarb
- Garnish
- 1/4 1/4 cup blackberries or 1/4 cup raspberries
- Cook the sugar and water until it forms a thick syrup (the temperature should be 238 degrees).
- Beat the egg whites and when they foam, add the salt and cream of tartar, and continue to beat until they start to form soft peaks.
- Add in a slow steady stream the hot sugar syrup, beating constantly, and continue to beat until the mixture has cooled and is thick.
- Beat the cream in a separate bowl until almost stiff, then beat in the liqueur.
- Fold the whipped cream into the egg white-sugar syrup mixture and freeze for 2 hours.
- Remove the bowl from the freezer and stir in the pureed rhubarb.
- If you are not serving immediately, hold the mousse in the freezer.
- Serve in a glass bowl or in sherbet glasses, decorated with berries.
