Eton Mess {Super Easy Dessert}
Eton Mess is a British strawberry dessert filled with fruit, whipped cream and crispy meringue. It’s so impressive to serve to guests but is super easy to make. Here’s your simple 5-ingredient recipe.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 4 Ready-made meringue nests
- 600 ml Double cream
- 50 g Icing sugar
- 2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 500 g Strawberries
Instructions
- Whip the cream, icing sugar and vanilla with a hand whisk or electric whisk until it’s quite firm.
- Hull your strawberries (remove the green stalk) and reserve whole strawberries some for the toppings. Cut the rest of the strawberries into small pieces.
- Put HALF of the chopped strawberries into a bowl and mash well with a fork until quite smooth. Then add the other HALF of the chopped strawberries and mix in together. This is your textured sauce.
- Crush the meringue lightly into bite-sized pieces and combine with the cream mixture with a spoon.
- Layer your Eton Mess with a spoon in individual dessert bowls or glasses: strawberries, then meringue/cream mix, followed by strawberries and cream mix again.
- Top with the saved strawberries.
