Best 5 Persimmon Raspberry And Pomegranate Eton Mess Recipes

RASPBERRY, POMEGRANATE & ROSE ETON MESS

Steps:

• Blitz most of the raspberries with the rosewater until smooth. Whisk the double cream and icing sugar to soft peaks. Fold through the puréed raspberries and pomegranate molasses. Layer the raspberry cream into dessert glasses with the crushed meringue nests and the remaining raspberries. Sprinkle over the pomegranate seeds along with some dried rose petals, if you like.

PERSIMMON, RASPBERRY, AND POMEGRANATE ETON MESS

Steps:

• Remove the leafy tops from the persimmons, slice the flesh, and add to a large bowl. Crush the raspberries lightly with a fork and add these to the bowl with the pomegranate seeds. Stir gently to combine.
• Beat cream in a chilled glass or metal bowl with an electric mixer until firm peaks form. Fold in meringue and stir gently.
• Spoon some of the fruit mixture into 4 decorative glasses. Layer the cream and meringue mixture on top, alternating with the fruit mixture. Make sure you reserve a little fruit for the top, then serve.

STRAWBERRY ETON MESS

Steps:

• Transfer the meringue cookies to a large, resealable plastic bag. Use a rolling pin to lightly crush the cookies. (You should have pieces of varying sizes.)
• Trim the berries, discarding the greens. Halve or quarter 1 pound of the strawberries; add to a medium bowl. Blend or mash the remaining 1/2 pound strawberries until you have a chunky purée. Add the strawberry purée, lime zest, lime juice and 2 to 3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar to the chopped strawberries and toss to coat. (The better the strawberries, the less sugar you'll need.)
• In a large bowl, beat the cream with 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar with an electric mixer on medium-high until whipped cream holds stiff peaks. Fold the crumbled meringue into the whipped cream.
• Starting and ending with the strawberry mixture, layer it with the cream mixture in individual serving dishes (preferably clear cups, bowls or jars), creating as many layers as you like. Serve immediately.

STRAWBERRY-RASPBERRY ETON MESS

Steps:

• Beat cream in a chilled glass or metal bowl with an electric mixer until frothy. Add 1 tablespoon sugar and vanilla extract gradually, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Chill in the refrigerator.
• Combine 1/2 of the raspberries, 1/2 of the strawberries, remaining 1 tablespoon sugar, and balsamic vinegar in a bowl. Mash with a fork and chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
• To serve, combine mashed fruit and cream in a bowl. Add the remaining strawberries, raspberries, and rose water; fold everything together.
• Place your meringues in a bowl and break them up into a mix of small and big chunks for a good texture.
• Layer meringues and cream mixture into dessert bowls or glasses and serve immediately.

RASPBERRY AND PISTACHIO ETON MESS

Steps:

• For the meringue: preheat the oven to 225 and place parchment paper on two large baking sheets. Beat the egg whites to the soft peak stage. As you continue to beat the egg whites on medium speed, gradually add sugar. When stiff glossy peaks form (about 5 minutes), reduce speed to low and add cornstarch and vinegar. Beat mixture for 20 seconds on high. Spread the mixture in 9" rounds on the baking sheets. Rounds will be about 1/2" high. Bake until the meringue is dry and crisp, about 3 hours. Let meringue cool before making the Eton Mess.
• Prepare the whipped cream by whipping the cream to soft peak stage. Add 1/2 cup powdered sugar and vanilla seeds. Whip the mixture until firm peaks form.
• Reserve one quarter of the raspberries. Combine the remainder with 1/4 c powdered sugar, and coarsely mash. Gently fold the raspberry mixture into the whipped cream.
• Crumble the cooled meringue. Reserve 1 cup of meringue and mix the remainder into the raspberry whipped cream mixture.
• Spoon the whipped cream mixture into individual bowls.
• Top each with some of the remaining meringue, the whole raspberries, pistachios, and mint.
