It takes a while, but if you break it down into steps, it's really not that hard.

This may have been my own fault; maybe I didn't measure the gelatin correctly. Next time I may increase the amount of gelatin a bit just to see if it makes a difference.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 pounds apricots, pitted and quartered 3/4 cup plus 1/3 cup cold water 1 1/2 cups sugar 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt Scant 4 1/2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin (two 1/4-ounce envelopes) 5 large eggs, separated Pistachio-Shortbread Crust Unsalted pistachios, chopped, for garnish

Directions

Bring apricots, 3/4 cup water, 3/4 cup sugar, and the salt to a boil in a medium saucepan. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer until apricots are very soft, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat, and let cool for 20 minutes.

Puree in a blender. Strain through a fine sieve into a bowl. (You should have 3 cups puree; reserve 1/2 cup.)

Sprinkle gelatin over 1/3 cup cold water, and let stand until softened, about 5 minutes. Heat 2 1/2 cups apricot puree in medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk softened gelatin into puree, and stir until gelatin dissolves.

Prepare an ice-water bath. Whisk together the yolks and 1/2 cup sugar. Whisk in 1/3 of the apricot-gelatin mixture, then pour back into pot. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour through sieve into a bowl set in ice-water bath. Whisk until just beginning to gel, 5 minutes.

Whisk whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 1/4 cup sugar, and whisk until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes. Whisk 1/3 of the whites into apricot-gelatin mixture. Gently fold in remaining whites. Return bowl to ice-water bath; let cool, stirring, until mixture is thick enough to mound, 3 to 5 minutes. Spoon into crust (it will mound quite high). Refrigerate at least 2 hours or up to overnight. Spoon reserved 1/2 cup apricot puree on top and garnish with pistachios.

I made this dessert to bring to a dinner party and it was a huge hit. It takes a while, but if you break it down into steps, it’s really not that hard. The only problem I had was that it seemed a little soft - even after I had refrigerated it for about 8 hours, the slices didn’t hold up very well on the plate. This may have been my own fault; maybe I didn’t measure the gelatin correctly. Next time I may increase the amount of gelatin a bit just to see if it makes a difference.
