Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (16 ounce) package fresh strawberries, quartered
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon raspberry vinegar
12 leaves basil, sliced
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon white sugar
4 tablespoons sour cream
2 ounces cream cheese, softened
3 tablespoons white sugar, or as needed
¼ cup chopped almonds, or to taste
1 (4.3 ounce) package plain meringue cookies, coarsely crushed

Steps:

  • Combine strawberries, 2 tablespoons sugar, balsamic and raspberry vinegars, and basil in a bowl. Let sit until strawberries have released their juices and absorbed all the flavors, at least 15 minutes.
  • Whip heavy cream in a chilled glass or metal bowl with an electric mixer until frothy. Add 1 tablespoon sugar gradually, continuing to beat until soft peaks form. Add sour cream and cream cheese and mix until evenly blended.
  • Sprinkle some sugar into a heavy saucepan until the bottom of the pan is covered with a thin layer. Cook over medium heat and as sugar starts to melt, sprinkle in a little more. Cook and stir until sugar is caramelized and amber in color. Stir in almonds. Remove from the heat and pour onto a sheet of parchment paper. Place another piece of parchment paper on top and use a rolling pin to roll it into a thin layer. Allow to cool, then break into pieces.
  • Place some marinated strawberries in the bottom of 4 serving dishes. Layer with cream and top with crushed meringues. Continue layers all the way to the top of the dishes, garnishing the top with caramelized almond pieces, more meringues, and strawberries.

STRAWBERRY ETON MESS



Strawberry Eton Mess image

Eton mess is a classic British dessert made of a mixture of fresh fruit, cream and crushed baked meringue. It's deliciously simple and perfect for lazy summer days when berries are in season and the less time spent in the kitchen the better. Of course, you could make meringue cookies from scratch, but if you choose to buy them, there will be very little work to do. A little lime zest and juice gives this simple dessert an essential sweet-tart edge, though lemon would do the trick as well.

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

5 ounces vanilla meringue cookies
1 1/2 pounds fresh strawberries
2 teaspoons lime zest plus 1 tablespoon lime juice
2 to 4 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
2 cups cold heavy cream

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.

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Berries: The fresher the berries, the better the Eton mess will taste. Look for ripe, juicy berries that are free of bruises or blemishes.
  • Macerate the Berries: Macerating the berries in sugar helps to draw out their juices and intensify their flavor. You can do this by simply tossing the berries with sugar and letting them sit for 30 minutes.
  • Use Good Quality Meringues: The meringues are a key component of Eton mess, so it's important to use good quality ones. You can either make your own or buy store-bought meringues.
  • Don't Over-Whip the Cream: The cream should be whipped until it is soft peaks, but not stiff peaks. Over-whipping the cream will make it grainy and dense.
  • Layer the Ingredients Carefully: When assembling the Eton mess, layer the ingredients carefully so that the meringue and cream are evenly distributed throughout the dish.

Conclusion:

Eton mess is a classic English dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its combination of fresh berries, creamy whipped cream, and crunchy meringues, it's a perfect dessert for any occasion. Whether you're serving it at a summer picnic or a holiday party, Eton mess is sure to be a hit.
