Strawberry Whip

This Summer dessert comes from the Better Homes and Gardens Magazine July 1944. The same recipe appeared in June 1942 under the title "Strawberry Crown Whip" and again in June 1949 as "Bavarian Strawberry Cream" 

To be honest its the first time I have ever made anything with the unflavored gelatine and I was a bit dubious... but it turned out very well,,, not quite as high as the magazine picture as my mould was quite shallow. With the main ingredient strawberries... the flavour was a wow...although maybe just a little sweet

 As the recipe says... save a few whole strawberries for garnish....

"Strawberry Whip will quiver enticingly in individual molds or in squares from shallow pan."

I will definitely be making it again

1 tablespoon (1 envelope) unflavored gelatine (I used Knox)
¼ cup cold water.
½ cup hot water
¼ cup orange juice
2 tablespoons lemon juice
½ cup sugar
Dash of salt
1 pint strawberries
1 stiff-beaten egg white

• Soften gelatine in cold water
• Dissolve in hot water. 
• Add fruit juices, sugar, and salt; chill until partially set. 
• Beat til frothy. 
• Crush 1/2 cups strawberries; add to gelatine mixture. 
• Fold in egg white. 
• Chill in oiled mold until set. 
• Unmold and garnish with remaining whole berries and meringue swirl. 
• Serve with chilled custard sauce.
