Ingredients
  • 2 cups strawberries, quartered
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • ½ lemon, juiced
  • 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Meringue cookies, broken into chunks
Preparation
  1. Toss the strawberries with lemon juice and granulated sugar. Refrigerate the sugared strawberries for 20-30 minutes.
  2. Beat the heavy cream, adding the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Continue to beat until the cream begins to stiffen, just to the point of becoming stiff peaks.
  3. Choose a serving dish that is clear so that the layers of the Eton mess are visible. Build the layers of the Eton mess by first adding a heaping spoonful of whipped cream to the bottom of the cup. Next, a spoonful of the crushed meringue followed by a spoonful of strawberries. Repeat this layering a second time.
  4. Refrigerate if serving later. These may be made 1-2 hours in advance, but not sooner as too long will make the meringue soggy.
This is one mess I will have no trouble cleaning up (with my spoon!).
