Strawberries were on sale for $2 a punnet and I could not resist buying a few. They were so beautiful! I decided to make Eton Mess and use my striped tea towel that I have been dying to use as a prop.
Recipe as follows (makes 2):
150ml cream
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
6 strawberries, chopped into desire size
10 meringue drops, crushed
1 tablespoon strawberry liquor
2 whole strawberries (to garnish)
1. Whip cream to soft peaks together with the vanilla essence.
2. Add chopped strawberries and crushed meringues and stir until well mixed.
3. Add strawberry liquor and stir gently until red swirls are visible.
4. Pour into martini glasses and top with a strawberry.
I’ve been pretty busy this weekend and I’m actually making one of my first paid orders for a friend so it’s been extremely hectic! Hoping everything turns out as planned. As they say, it never rains but pours. Well, according to Anne of Green Gables anyway.
I love this and I love your tea towel! I’d never even heard of Eton Mess but that sounds and looks absolutely delicious.
It’s really easy too! You should give it a go if you have any strawberries handy. 🙂

Yes, try it out and if you do please let me know I’d love to see it! 🙂
Hi Evelyn Wow this recipe shouts summer at me! Looks so amazingly delicious! Thanks for sharing
LOL yes it’s definitely a summer sort of dessert but I made it in the depth of Australian winter! It was still delicious though 🙂
We now have a hot summer in Switzerland 🙂 I’d love to eat it right away! Well I am sure it tastes anytime!
