Strawberries & Cream Eton Mess
Whether served as a garden party treat or a fun way to end a summer supper, this little 'mess-in-a-cone' is summer in its most delicious form. Casual, colourful and completely irresistible and so simple to whip up.
Inspired by vintage ice cream vans and long afternoons outside, we reimagined it in a cone — light, joyful and made for eating with your fingers under the sun.
Recipe below
THE INGREDIENTS
Makes one 4 - 6 cones
300ml double cream
1tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp icing sugar
a large handful of strawberries
3-4 meringue nests
4-6 waffle cones
optional: mint leaves, edible flowers or a drizzle of berry coulis
- Whip the cream until soft peaks form, then gently fold in the vanilla extract and icing sugar.
- Chop the strawberries into small chunks.
- Break the meringue into soft pieces - not too fine. You want texture and crunch.
- Gently fold the fruit and meringue through the cream, just enough to ripple the colours without over mixing.
- Spoon into cones just before serving. Finish with a sprig of mint or a scattering of petals if you fancy.
Enjoy
