Eton Mess Recipe.

Ingredients:

1 pound fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional, depending on the sweetness of the strawberries)
1 ½ cups heavy cream
3 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4-6 store-bought meringue nests, roughly crushed

Recipe Instructions:

Prepare the Strawberries:

In a bowl, combine the fresh strawberries and granulated sugar (if needed) and gently toss them together.
Let the strawberries sit for about 10-15 minutes to release their juices and develop flavor.

Whip the Cream:

In a separate bowl, pour the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
Using an electric mixer or whisk, beat the cream until it forms soft peaks. Be careful not to over-whip, as it may turn into butter.

Assemble the Eton Mess:

In serving glasses or bowls, layer the crushed meringue, whipped cream, and strawberries.
Repeat the layers until you reach the desired amount, finishing with a dollop of whipped cream and a few strawberry quarters on top.
Feel free to be creative with the layering, creating a visually appealing dessert.

Serve and Enjoy:

Serve the Eton Mess immediately to maintain the crispness of the meringue.
