Eton Mess?!?! I never heard of it until a few months ago! But its meant to be associated with Eton College students, consisting of a mixture of strawberries, pieces of meringue and cream and history has it as traditionally being served at Eton College's annual prize-giving celebration picnic on the 4th June.
Well! I'm not an Eton College student, I'm a BCU student and proud of it!...But alas I'm also hungry and would quite like to try a new fun recipe...what could be more fun than a recipe with the word ''Mess'' in?! hehe
The Yummies
4 medium-sized meringues (freshly made or bought)
280 ml double cream
50g icing sugar
10ml (1 tbsp) vanilla essence
150 ml Greek yoghurt
500 g strawberries
280 ml double cream
50g icing sugar
10ml (1 tbsp) vanilla essence
150 ml Greek yoghurt
500 g strawberries
How to?
- Rinse the strawberries, remove the tops and cut into halves.
- Break the meringues into pieces (not too small) and place into a bowl.
- Put the double cream, vanilla essence and icing sugar into a bowl and whip until reasonably stiff.
- Combine the cream, yoghurt, strawberries and meringue, being careful not to mash the meringue into pieces that are too small.
- Serve in bowls or pile onto a small serving dish like a big Mess!-surly only a student could have created this recipe! :)
Hopefully mine will look a little more like this picture than the first!
