I’m at it again. From the same book where I gathered [Nixon’s Ham Mousse](https://www.reddit.com/r/Old_Recipes/comments/1b3bo0k/trying_out_richard_nixons_ham_mousse_1960s/). If you enjoy stewed prunes + no spices mixed into a meringue & gelatin base, you’re in luck. I’m thinking dates, dried cherries or apricots might be more my style. And less catastrophic on an already-well-functioning digestive system…

Great googly moogly.

Looks like sausage gravy thickened way too much. 😀

Was he verrrry constipated?

Perhaps an artistic garnish? A vertical element?

I LOVE prune whip. My mom made it regularly (heh) when I was a kid and it was a real treat.
It must, however, be served with a pourable custard, made with the egg yolks not used in the whip. I put a hit of lemon zest and juice into mine which also makes a better whip.
I have done it with a mix of dried apricots and prunes and that’s very good too.

Yeah, that seems like something he’d be into.

It looks like that weird grease that comes with ground beef.

I am sorry but that does not look or sound good to me.

I love prune whip but the one our family made was more like a Bavarian dessert. Custard, gelatin, loads of fresh whipped cream folded.

This looks like a texture nightmare.

Maybe that’s how he held the allied forces in Europe.

Eisenhower had numerous bowel issues, and even wound up with a permanent ostomy after emergency surgery for a bowel obstruction. I know some people are making fun of the obvious, uh, *digestive implications* of a prune whip recipe, but this may have been why he preferred it as much as he did.
