SPLENDA® Raspberry
Peach Bites
- Angel Bites:
5 large egg whites
1/3 cup SPLENDA® Granular
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
-
- Raspberry Peach Filling
1 (12-ounce) bag Frozen Raspberries,
Thawed
2 teaspoons corn starch
1 tablespoon SPLENDA® Granular
4 ounce canned sliced peaches, drained.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly
oil a 13 x 11-inch baking sheet. Set aside.
- Separate egg whites from yolk. Discard
yolk. Place egg whites in a medium sized bowl. Whip on high speed
using an electric beater or wire whisk until frothy.
- Add SPLENDA® Granular, vanilla extract
and salt. Mix until stiff peaks form (about 20 to 30 seconds
on high speed with an electric mixer).
- Spoon slightly rounded tablespoons of
egg whites onto prepared baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven
10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan.
- Sandwich Angel Bites with filling of choice.
Place filling on the bottom of one Angel Bite and top with another
so that the bottoms of the Angel Bites are facing each other
and the filling is sandwiched between them. Repeat to make 3
filled Angel Bites per serving (using 6 unfilled bites).
- For Raspberry Peach Filling: Drain thawed
raspberries and save juice. Place juice in a small saucepan.
- Add cornstarch and SPLENDA® Granular.
Stir well. Heat over medium heat until simmering and thick (approximately
2 minutes).
- Toss the thawed raspberries with thickened
juice. Chill until ready to use. Garnish Angel Bites with sliced
peaches, a dollop of whipped cream and a sprig of mint.
Makes 6 servings (approximately 36 "bites").
Cooking Tip: If egg whites start to separate
after sitting for a bit, just whisk them back together using
a wire whisk.
