Equipment
Ingredients
- 600 g 21 oz. strawberries
- 4 tbsp icing sugar divided
- 200 g 7 oz seasonal berries (such as raspberries, blackberries etc.)
- 300 ml 10 oz heavy cream
- 300 ml 10 oz plain Greek yogurt
- 6 store bought meringues nests coarsely crumbled (if you have the small cookies then about 18)
- Additional Berries and mint leaves for garnish.
Instructions
- Place 150 g (5 oz) of strawberries in a blender with 1 -2 tbsps. of icing sugar (depending upon the sweetness of the strawberries). Pulse to form a smooth puree. Halve or quarter the remaining strawberries and other berries, if using, into bite-size pieces as needed. Place the pureed strawberries and the cut berries into a bowl and gently mix.
- Whip the heavy cream and remaining 1-2 tbsps. of icing sugar together until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the Greek yogurt.
- To assemble the Eton Mess, start by adding some of the crumbled meringue into the bottom of 6 glasses, maybe to equal one cookie or more depending on your glass. Next divided about 1/2 the berries into the 6 glasses and top with about 1/2 the whipped cream yogurt mixture. Followed by more meringues if desired.
- Repeat, finishing with remaining large crumbled meringue pieces, whole berries, and mint leaves on top; serve immediately.
