CACTUS PEAR ICE CREAM   
  Ingredients :
    4 cactus pears, peeled and chopped
    1 cup of sugar
    ½ cup water
    3 egg whites
    Juice of 1 lime, approximately

  Preparation:

Force chopped cactus pear through a strainer so seeds remain in the strainer. Place sugar and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil for 4 minutes to prepare a thin syrup. Add lime juice and stir. Stir in cactus pear pulp and mix. Transfer mixture to a container and freeze it, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon until it resembles crushed ice.

Before serving whip egg whites until thick as for meringue and fold into the ice cream.
Serve in glass martini cups and garnish with a mint leaf.
