- 2 cups fruit nectar (peach, pear, apricot, or tropical fruits)
Whipped egg whites

- Bring to a full boil over medium heat, stirring constantly, especially towards the end.
- Cool the pan in cold water.

Notes
This dessert is excellent half-frozen.
If pear nectar is used, try substituting one drop of peppermint oil for the ginger.
