This is a dessert I eat year-round, but it always makes me think of spring, something about the subtle sweetness and lighter than air consistency. It's an English dessert called
Eton mess. If you speak southern like me, it may sound more like "eatin' mess," which actually makes sense too. It has the same appeal of one of my other favorite desserts,
pavlova, but it's much easier to make. It's just strawberries and whipped cream taken to another level by adding the crunch of meringue cookies, which you can
make yourself or buy. Simple and quick happiness by the spoonful.

welp. that looks delightful. adding it the repertoire.
ReplyDeleteSounds wonderful! I can't eat it because of the whip cream, though. I need to find a substitute for that.

Gah, that looks so good. I love a beautiful Pavlova too, but for a quick, elegant dessert this Eaton Mess is perfect!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds delicious. I think I will definitely have to try it. And I feel certain if I said this out loud, it would sound like "eatin mess". ;)
ReplyDeleteYUM oh YUM! I am making these ... you've inspired me. I love making meringues so this will be the perfect dessert.
ReplyDeleteTrying it!
ReplyDeletei love eton mess though i'm gonna stick with buying the meringues. i made meringues last summer and they were a sticky gooey (gross) mess.
ReplyDeleteOh, I want to taste this! Have you tried her nutella cheesecake (to die for)?
