    Just tried making my first spoom and thought hte recipe was tricky to follow. I wasn't sure if the water in the pan was supposed to touch the bowl with the egg whites or if I was supposed to keep the egg whites over the summering water to until the hard peak stage. It could be inexperience with this type of recipe though... so far it's DELISH!

    this was delicious! and guess what - i have no ice cream machine so i just froze it overnight to see what happens. turned out awesome. like a mix between sorbet and ice cream. i also skipped the sugar syrup step and just added some sugar directly into the fruit puree. worked fine.
