Eton Mess

What to do with strawberries...

We've harvested a big bowl of strawberries last weekend from the garden. I’m actually so excited about it that I will have to dedicate a post to my lovely veg patch!!!!

So anyway, the sun was out, as well as the BBQ, and I thought « We need the prefect treat for a day like that! »

Now if you know me well, you will know that my perfect meal usually include homemade burger and… Eton Mess! I love the freshness of the strawberries, the sweetness of the meringue and the creaminess of the… cream! 

Here is my recipe the way I love it!

Ingredients

·      500gr strawberries

·      450ml double cream

·      200ml Greek yogurt

·      3tbsp caster sugar

·      6 meringue nest (unless you have time to do it yourself)

·      ½ vanilla pod

Method

Wash the strawberries, hull them and slice them (depending of the size) Put in a bowl and cover with caster sugar. Store in the fridge.

* The reason I do that is because the sugar is going to melt in the strawberry juice, creating a coulis.

Wisk the double cream and store in the fridge for an hour.

Slowly Mix the strawberries and sugar. Add the vanilla seeds. Add the yogurt and wiped cream. Toss everything together slowly to create… a mess! Store in the fridge with cling film.

When ready to serve, add the crushed meringue to the mixture and enjoy!

Ta-dah!
