For the best volume, ensure your egg whites are at room temperature and your bowl is grease-free. Adjust the amount of sugar to your liking, depending on the sweetness of your prunes. A splash of orange liqueur can add a sophisticated twist to the prune purée. Serve with whipped cream or a light custard sauce.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish with butter and dust with sugar. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a medium saucepan, combine prunes with 1/3 cup water over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Drain well. (10 minutes)

StepTransfer the drained prunes to a blender or food processor and purée until smooth. Return the purée to the saucepan. (5 minutes)
