ETON MESS
@SIMPLYFOODBYMANDY
It doesn’t get much more summery than a lovely
bowl of Eton Mess. Now I love making (and eating)
homemade meringue, so by all means make your
own for this recipe, but this Eton Mess works really
well with shop bought. You could serve this in a
large bowl, but it’s not going to look pretty and I
think that by serving it in individual glasses, it
makes something very simple look like you’ve made
a real effort.Serves 4 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
INGREDIENTS
Strawberry coulis
6-8 strawberries
1-2 tablespoons icing sugar
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Chantilly cream
500ml double cream
1 teaspoon vanilla paste
1-2 tablespoons icing sugar
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4 shop bought meringue nests
8-10 strawberries - hulled and sliced
12-14 raspberries
4 sprigs of mint (optional)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
METHOD ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Blitz 6-8 of the strawberries with 1-2 tablespoons
of icing sugar in a bullet of mini blender and set
aside. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Whip the cream until nearly fully whipped. Mix in
the vanilla paste and the icing sugar and continue
to whip being careful not to over whip. Break the
meringues with your hands into chunks and add to
the cream. Carefully fold in to combine. Add the
strawberries and raspberries (saving a few to
decorate)and fold in gently. Spoon into glasses
and drizzle with the coulis. Top with a strawberry
and a sprig of mint.http://www.onthedoorstep.org Page 31
