Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu!
Eton Mess is something that I had been wanting to make for a long time, even though it's the middle of winter, and this is usually a summer pudding.
It is a traditional English dessert which uses strawberries, cream and pieces of meringue. It is perfect for using up leftover homemade or shop bought meringues.
I promise you that, inshallah, this dessert will bring a little brightness to these dull winter days, and bring hope of the summer to come!
A Simple List of Ingredients:
1. Strawberries
2. Double Cream
3. Fresh Orange Zest
4. Icing Sugar
5. Fresh Orange Juice
6. My Mini Meringue Cookies or shop bought meringues
Bismillah, let's start!
To start, slice 1 pound of fresh strawberries.
Add the juice of 1 orange, and stir in.
Next, add 2 teaspoons of icing sugar.
Stir to combine, and set aside.
For the cream, place 1 pint of double cream into a bowl.
Add the zest of 1 orange.
Stir to combine.
Next, add 3 tablespoons of icing sugar.
Whip the cream until soft peaks form.
To assemble one portion of Eton Mess, take 3 of My Mini Meringue Cookies or 3 shop bought mini meringues.
Break the meringues into pieces.
Add 3 tablespoons of the whipped cream, and mix.
Next, add 2 tablespoons of the strawberries.
Stir to combine.
Spoon the mixture into a serving glass bowl.
Top with more strawberries.
Garnish with crushed meringues, and serve straight away!
Wasalaam!
