Strawberry foam is prepared without baking and requires only a few ingredients.

Finally, grated lemon zest is added, and the dessert is kept cool until serving. The recipe can also be made with raspberries or blackberries instead of strawberries. It is important that the fruits are well cleaned and chopped before being added to the foam. Quick info Total time: not specified in the original recipe Preparation time: not specified Cooking or baking time: not cooked and not baked Servings: not specified Difficulty: easy Type of recipe: cold dessert, no baking Ingredients 5 egg whites 10 tablespoons of sugar 1 kg of strawberries Grated zest of one lemon A pinch of salt Preparation method 1. Prepare the egg whites Separate the egg whites from the yolks and place them in a suitable mixing bowl. Before you start beating them, add a pinch of salt. 2. Beat the egg whites with sugar Mix the egg whites, adding the sugar, until you obtain a stiff foam. The mixture should be well beaten and hold its shape. Do not proceed to the next step while the egg whites are still soft or liquid. 3. Add the fruits Clean the strawberries, cut them into pieces, and add them to the egg white foam. Mix well until the fruits are incorporated, and the mixture becomes homogeneous. Depending on how well the strawberries are mixed, there may be very few pieces left, or the mixture may become almost uniform. The original recipe indicates mixing until homogeneous. 4. Add the lemon zest Add the grated lemon zest and mix briefly, just enough to distribute it throughout the foam. 5. Keep the dessert cool Place the strawberry foam in the refrigerator until serving. The recipe does not specify an exact refrigeration time, so the dessert is kept cool as long as necessary until served. Why I make the recipe often I love this recipe because it is quick to prepare and uses few ingredients. The strawberries provide the main flavor, and the lemon zest adds a fresh note without needing other flavors. It is also easy to adapt when I have raspberries or blackberries instead of strawberries. Another advantage is that it does not require an oven or stovetop preparation. You just need to pay attention to the egg whites, which need to be beaten well before adding the fruits. Tips Add the salt before beating the egg whites, as mentioned in the original recipe. The strawberries should be cut before being added to the foam. If added whole, they will not incorporate evenly. Beat the egg whites with the sugar until the foam is stiff. If the egg whites are not firm enough, the final mixture may turn out too soft. The lemon zest should be finely grated and only the outer part of the peel should be used. Avoid the white part, as it can taste bitter. Since the dessert contains raw egg whites and fresh fruits, it is better to use very fresh eggs and keep the foam cool until serving. Substitutions Strawberries can be replaced with raspberries or blackberries without changing the preparation steps. The fruits are cut or prepared before being added to the egg white foam, then mixed until homogeneous. The recipe does not specify a substitute for sugar, for egg whites, or for lemon zest. To maintain the described proportions and texture, use the indicated amounts. Variations The clearest variation in the original recipe is the change of fruits. With raspberries, the foam will have a different taste and probably a more intense color, while blackberries can give a darker hue to the mixture. You can use just one type of fruit to keep the simple flavor of the recipe. It is not necessary to modify the amount of sugar or the steps presented when replacing strawberries with raspberries or blackberries. Serving ideas Serve the foam cold, after it has been in the refrigerator. It can be portioned immediately before serving, without any additional toppings, as the recipe is already complete with fruits, sugar, and lemon zest. Frequently asked questions Can frozen strawberries be used? The original recipe mentions strawberries, but does not specify whether they should be fresh or frozen. For the described texture, it is recommended to use strawberries that can be easily cut and incorporated into the foam. If using frozen fruits, they must be prepared before adding, without changing the recipe steps. How long should the foam be kept in the refrigerator? The source does not indicate an exact timeframe. The foam is placed in the refrigerator until serving. No cooking or baking time is provided. Why is salt added? The original recipe recommends adding a pinch of salt before beating the egg whites. This step is included in the preparation method, even though salt does not appear in the main ingredients list. Can I use raspberries or blackberries? Yes. Strawberries can be replaced with raspberries or blackberries. The same preparation idea is maintained: the fruits are prepared, added to the egg white foam, and mixed until homogeneous. Can it be prepared a day in advance? The recipe only states that the dessert should be kept cool until serving and does not provide an exact storage timeframe. Since it contains raw egg whites and fresh fruits, it is best prepared as close to serving time as possible and kept in the refrigerator.
