Eton Mess
Ingredients
-
3 egg whites
-
175g caster sugar
-
600ml double cream, whipped till stiff
-
700g ripe strawberries, hulled and sliced
Method
-
Beat together the egg whites and sugar in a bowl set over a pan of gently simmering water, till the mix forms a thick trail when the whisk is removed.
-
Remove the bowl from the bain marie, and continue to whisk for about 2 minutes or until the mixture has cooled down significantly. Using 2 spoons, spoon 6 meringues onto parchment-lined baking trays, then bake at 100C/gas 1/4 for 1 hour 45 minutes.
-
When cold, roughly crush the meringues, combine with the strawberries and cream, and pile in a bowl.
