It certainly had the consistency of meringue.  Can't get my egg whites to fluff up like that on their own so don't really understand why the volume of this foam was so full.  I used room temperature egg whites as I would for a meringue.

Mine were cold too. I never thought to use room temp eggs.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

I froze the bit of strawberry foam that was left. It makes a lovely icecream, it doesn't set really hard and is easy to serve. Very nice and another use for strawberry foam. I'm going to try mango in the next few days, as foam and icecream.

Ha ha Cookie1, I thought exactly the same thing and was going to post it but thought someone would tell me it was nothing like ice-cream.  Think you could also get away with less sugar as it was quite sweet.

The fruity dream recipe from the EDC (a very similar recipe) has just 60g of sugar and I find that sweet enough.  :)

I actually used only half the quantity of sugar Judy as we don't mind if things are a bit tart. I may use even less in the mango one. It won't be a cheap icecream as I paid $7 for the frozen mango, but it's only to try it.  If it's nice I'll freeze some IF I can buy any cheap when they are in season.

Good idea Cookie1 - I can always find cheap mangoes during the season so will be doing the same.  Unfortunately, I am the only person in this family who loves mangoes - can't understand why my DD's don't like them.  Means I get to eat them all on my own though without feeling guilty  ;D ;D ;D

When I make mango or pawpaw sorbet I add some lemon rind to the sugar and usually put half a lemon in too - this would probably help make the mango foam less sweet?
Mango is my favourite sorbet.

made the strawberry and banana foam - strawberries weren't frozen so did an extra 2 min on speed 4 and came out just like the photo's. Would also reduce the sugar next time as it is very sweet.
Have frozen some to try that tomorrow.

IF I can ever get any bananas to freeze I will try that. Did you add any vanilla or anything like that?
