For some weird reason this dessert is called “Snow White and Seven Dwarfs” in Ukraine. But it doesn’t make its taste any less than awesome: sourish prunes, stuffed with nuts on a bed of fluffy whipped cream.
Prunes can be stuffed in advance, in fact nuts will taste even better after few hours in prunes. And then whip cream and assemble dessert right before serving it.
By the way, you can use other nuts instead of pecans, for example walnuts or almonds, whatever you like more.
Ingredients:
- 1 pint of heavy whipping cream at fridge temperature
- 6-8 tsp of powdered sugar (or more to taste)
- 25-30 pitted prunes
- 25-30 pecan halves
- A bit of grated chocolate to taste
