Method

  • step 1

    Drain the syrup from two cans of lychees into a small pan. Add the sugar and dissolve over a gentle heat. Bring to the boil for 1 min. Blitz the drained lychees, fresh ginger slices and lychee syrup in a blender until very finely chopped. Pour through a sieve. Tip into a 1-litre container and freeze for at least 6 hrs until solid.

  • step 2

    Break up the frozen mix, then put in a food processor. Tip in the egg white and whizz until thick, pale and smooth. Return to the container and freeze again, ideally overnight. Serve in scoops with slices of stem ginger and syrup poured over, with Chinese fortune cookies or thin butter or almond biscuits.

I have a lot of fresh lychees, can I use fresh ones for this recipe?

Perfect for my 'guests', didn't quite suite my taste buds myself though!

Absolutely delicious! I made this for a thai dinner party and everyone loved it. It does need at least 30 minutes out of the freezer before serving to be able to soften it enough to get a spoon in.

How long can this be kept in the freezer? If I make it a week in advance will it be ok?

Scrummy anytime. Light and refreshing.

I added a the juice from a third can of lychees after the first step, which made it easier to blend and add the egg white. I won't bother seiving it next time as it seems an unnecessary step. I'll definately be making it again, as it is so simple.
