Classic English Eton Mess Recipe
Description
The Classic English Eton Mess is a straightforward dessert featuring very cold heavy whipping cream beaten to stiff peaks, which provides a rich and airy base. Store-bought meringue cookies are broken into bite-sized pieces and folded gently into the whipped cream, adding crunchy sweetness. Fresh strawberries are sliced, with half mashed to blend into the cream, imparting natural fruit sweetness and a touch of tartness.
The combination results in a textured dessert with contrasting creamy, crunchy, and juicy elements. It is typically served in individual cups or a large bowl, garnished with the remaining fresh strawberry pieces and an optional dusting of sugar for extra sweetness.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream very cold
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 cups meringue cookies store bought
- 3 cups strawberries
Instructions
- In a stand up mixer, beat the heavy whipping cream until you get stiff peaks.
- Break the meringue cookies into bite-sized pieces. Add them directly to the whipped cream.
- Slice the strawberries into small pieces. Set half of them aside. Using a fork, mash the other half of the strawberries in a small bowl.
- Add in the mashed strawberries to the cream. Stir to combine everything together.
- Spoon the eton mess into individual cups or into a large serving bowl. Top with the remaining strawberries and a sprinkle of sugar.
