Add this and the food coloring to the egg whites, keep beating until the mixture has cooled down. Grease a rectangular mold and dust it with the corn starch mixture. Pour the egg white mixture in this mold and put it in the freezer for half an hour. Cut it in squares and dust it with the sugar/starch mixture.

Bring the cream and the sugar to the boil. Cook on medium high heat until it has the right consistency. To test. you may put a drop of the mixture in ice cold water and it should form a ball. Switch off the heat and allow the mixture to cool down for a few minutes. Beat it with a mixture until it has become lukewarm. Add the peanuts and stir. Put the mixture into a greased rectangular pan and put it in the fridge for 4 hours. Cut the fudge in squares.
