Eton Mess is a delightfully simple British dessert of crushed meringue, whipped cream and sweet strawberries β€” light, crunchy and creamy all at once. It’s quick to assemble yet feels celebratory, making it perfect for summer gatherings or an easy after-dinner treat. The contrast of airy cream, crackly meringue and juicy, sugar-macerated berries is irresistible.

Method

1

Hull and quarter the Strawberries, then place them in a bowl and sprinkle over the Caster Sugar. Gently toss and leave to macerate for 10–15 minutes so the berries release their juices.

2

Crush the Crisp Meringue Nests by hand or in a bag to make a mix of large and small pieces; set a handful aside for garnish.

3

Pour the Double Cream into a chilled bowl, add the Vanilla Extract, and whisk until soft peaks form β€” be careful not to overwhip; the cream should be airy and smooth.

4

Fold about two-thirds of the crushed meringue and most of the macerated strawberries (reserve a little of the syrup) into the whipped cream using a spatula, gently combining so the mixture stays fluffy and streaks of berry remain.

5

Spoon the mixture into individual glasses or a large serving bowl, then scatter the reserved strawberries, meringue pieces and a little of the berry syrup on top for shine and extra sweetness.

6

Serve immediately for maximum crunch, or chill for up to 30 minutes if you prefer it cooler β€” note that the meringue will soften over time.
