Adapted from bbc.co.uk
Serves 4-5
Ingredients:
Meringues
76 grams / 2 large egg whites, room temperature
100 grams / 1/2 cup superfine/caster sugar
Eton Mess
450 grams / 15.8 ounces strawberries, hulled and roughly chopped
35 grams / 2 1/2 tablespoons superfine/caster sugar
394 milliliters / 1 2/3 cups heavy cream or 3 1/3 cups soft peaks whipped cream
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 100C/212F and line a baking tray with greaseproof paper that has outlines marked underneath for the meringues. Set aside.
- For the homemade meringues, place the egg whites into a clean and dry bowl and beat on low-medium until soft peaks form, approximately 5 minutes.
- Continue beating, adding in 1 tablespoon of the sugar at a time and incorporating until dissolved, approximately 30 seconds before adding more sugar.
- Beat until stiff, glossy and all the sugar has been incorporated, approximately 8 minutes.
- Spoon the meringue evenly onto a baking tray and smooth out.
- Place into your oven and bake for 1 hour 30 minutes.
- Turn the oven off and allow to cool completely, minimum 2 hours before removing.
Strawberries
- Meanwhile, place half the strawberries into a bowl and scatter over 20 grams / 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar over and mash or blend until smooth.
Assembly
- Toss the remaining sugar into a large bowl and pour in the heavy cream, whipping until soft peaks form (the cream should just hold its shape).
- Break up the meringues and add portions into serving glasses.
- Spoon over a heavy dollop of whipped cream, topping with a teaspoonful of strawberry puree and fresh berries.
- Repeat layering, creating a ripple appearance in your serving glasses.
- Serve up and dig in!
