Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 Meringue nests
  • 300 ml double or whipping cream
  • 1 tbsp icing sugar
  • 150 g raspberries
  • 1 tsp caster sugar

Method
 

Crush the meringues
  1. If you're using shop bought meringues, you simply need to crush them into chunks. If you need to make them, you can use an easy meringue recipe, allow it to cool and then crush them. Keep them in a dish until you are ready to assemble them.
Whip the cream
  1. Pour the cream into a bowl or freestanding mixer if you are using one and add a spoon of icing sugar. Either use a handheld mixer or the whipping attachment of your mixer and whip the cream until it starts to thicken. Be careful not to over whip it. If you do, add a dribble of spare cream if you have any (or a tiny splash of milk) and it should loosen it a bit.
Make the raspberry sauce
  1. To make the sauce all you need to do is add some of your raspberries to a bowl, keep a handful of raspberries back for each dish of Eton Mess. Crush the raspberries with a fork.
Assemble the Eton Mess
  1. To assemble the Eton Mess, add the crushed meringue and raspberry sauce to the cream and stir it through, Keep a little of the meringue and raspberry sauce back to add to the top.
  2. Add the cream mixture to each bowl then add some whole raspberries, a sprinkle of meringue and some raspberry sauce on top.
