Every family has a recipe that they hold close to their hearts – a recipe that embodies family values, personality, and everything that makes a family unit unique. Every year on a day in April, my family gets together and makes this special dessert that means so much to us: prune whip! This dessert was something that I would dream about when I fell asleep at night on Christmas, wishing that my parents would let us have prune whip instead of the chocolate in our stockings, and when Easter came, I cried when I saw Cadbury Cream Eggs and Reeses. “Where is my prune whip?” I cried. I hope you enjoy this special, special dessert that I love dearly.
Prune whip is a very simple dessert, but delicious nonetheless, as I am sure you can guess from the name. My family owned a prune farm for many, many years which was passed down from generation to generation. Unfortunately, in the Fall of the year before last, my father passed away unexpectedly and gave me the deed to the prune farm! Now, I own the prune farm, “Patty’s Prune Plants”, and it is doing very well. We sell over 300,000 packages of “Patty’s Prune Whip” every month. Enjoy responsibly!!
Cooking Instructions:
- Place Dried Pitted Prunes (1 cup) in a medium-size bowl and cover with Filtered Water (1 cup), just enough that all the prunes are submerged.
- Let sit and soak for 4 hours. Do not discard the water.
- After soaking, toss prunes and water in a blender or food processor and whip em! Whip em’ good!
- Once you have the desired consistency you like, (pudding or whip), enjoy immediately or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Garnish with Unsweetened Coconut Flakes (to taste) just before serving.
Ingredients:
1 cup dried pitted prunes
1 cup water
Unsweetened coconut flakes (no taste)
