Eton Mess

Serves about 4 · from D'Open Kitchen

Method

  1. For the meringues, preheat the oven to about 140°C.
  2. Whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until firm peaks, then gradually whisk in the sugar until thick and glossy.
  3. Sift the cornflour over the whisked egg whites and fold.
  4. Spread out flat on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake for 45 minutes or until dry.
  5. Meanwhile, mix the strawberries & sugar and let it start to 'cure'.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk the cream and icing sugar, starting with the cream and a dash of sugar, until stiff peaks.
  7. In a small cup/bowl, layer your whipped cream, broken meringue, and strawberry sauce until filled up.

Notes

  1. Using small plastic cups for the dish
  2. If we can buy meringue, this can be done faster.
  3. Honey is optional.
