Time 1h20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 egg whites
1 pint whipping cream
1/2 cup sugar
1 -2 tablespoon rose water
2 pints strawberries
1 cup red wine
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ginger

Steps:

  • Whip cream and set aside.
  • Then beat egg whites until they form soft peaks.
  • Add egg whites to whipped cream and whisk together.
  • Add rose water and sugar - adding a little sugar at a time. This stuff will have a consistency something like Cool-Whip, but will taste lots better.
  • Clean strawberries and place into bowl.
  • Mix red wine, sugar, cinnamon, and ginger. Pour mixture over strawberries and allow to marinate for an hour or so.
  • Serve "snow" with strawberries on top and with a couple shortbread cookies on the side.
