Is it more like a candy? I found a few recipes, but here's a link that got higher ratings

* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS:

1. In a medium pot, combine sugar, water, salt and cream of tarter. Cover mixture and let boil 5 minutes.
2. Uncover the pot after the 5 minutes of boiling have elapsed, wipe the sides of the pot with a damp cloth. Continue boiling until the mixture reaches the firm ball stage.
3. Pour the mixture over stiffly beaten egg whites, and stir in vanilla. Continue beating until the candy holds its shape when dropped from a spoon. Drop the mixture by spoonfuls onto wax paper, let cool.

Answer 3

Oh my gramma used to make seafoam too!
This was a chocolate covered candy though so dont sound like what your looking for.... but I know when she made it you had to be very careful it didnt "fall". It was very light & airy.

You said your was a dessert... so not sure if I could help you.
If its a candy it sounds like what we call divinity.
Hope you find your recipe!
