Apple and cardamom snow
Serves 6 Preparation: 15 minutes Cooking: 0 minutes 2 cups stewed apple 12 cardamom pods zest and juice of 1 lemon honey to taste 2 egg whites 150ml cream Put the stewed apple into a large bowl.
Remove the seeds from the cardamom pods and grind using a mortar and pestle.
Add this to the apple mixture along with the zest and juice of the lemon.
If your apples are tart then melt some honey and add this to the apple until it reaches the desired sweetness. (I used 3 tablespoons of honey to sweeten my apples which were a bit tart.)
Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form then, using a spatula, carefully fold this into the apple mixture.
Beat the cream and again gently fold this into the apple mixture.
Serve with fresh fruit, nuts or even grated chocolate. I garnished my snow with thinly sliced feijoa, Chilean guavas and chopped pumpkin seeds. Recipes, food styling and photography by Emma Boyd
