Apricot Whip Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a 9- to 10-inch shallow pie plate.
• Combine the egg yolks and 1/3 cup of the sugar in a large bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat on medium-high speed until ribbons form when you lift the beater just slightly out of the batter, about 3 minutes. Add the flour, heavy cream and vanilla extract. Reduce the speed to low and beat until thoroughly blended, stopping the mixer occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
• Slide the prepared pie plate into the oven to preheat for 4 to 5 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk together the egg whites and salt in a small bowl for 30 seconds; add to the batter and beat with the mixer on low speed until just incorporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Combine the apricots, lemon zest and the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar in a medium bowl, and gently stir until the apricots are thoroughly coated. Remove the pie plate from the oven, pour in the apricots in a decorative pattern, and top with the batter.
• Bake until set in the middle, 30 to 35 minutes. Serve warm with a small dollop of the whipped cream, if using.
• Add the heavy cream, sugar, vanilla and lemon zest to a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whip just until soft peaks form.

Add vanilla and puree, scraping down sides of bowl occasionally. Transfer puree to large bowl and cool. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before continuing.)
• Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350°F. Spray 9x9x2-inch pan with vegetable oil spray. Using electric mixer, beat egg whites with pinch of salt in large bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar and continue beating until stiff but not dry. Fold whites into puree in 2 additions. Spoon apricot mixture into prepared pan, smoothing top. Place pan on baking sheet with sides. Pour enough water into baking sheet to measure 1/2 inch. Set sheet in oven and bake until apricot mixture is firm in center and golden brown, covering very loosely with foil if browning too quickly, about 40 minutes.
