ETON MESS
Steps:
- Pour 2 packages of the raspberries, 1 cup of the sugar and the lemon juice into a 10-inch saute pan. Crush the berries lightly with a fork and bring the mixture to a full boil over medium-high heat. Lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is syrupy. Fold the remaining 2 packages of raspberries and the framboise into the hot mixture and refrigerate until very cold.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the cream, the remaining 3 tablespoons of sugar and the vanilla together on medium-high speed until it forms firm peaks.
- In decorative glasses, layer a spoonful of the whipped cream, a spoonful of the raspberry mixture and then a few meringue pieces. Repeat once or twice, depending on the size of the glasses, until the glasses are full, ending with berries and a dollop of cream. Serve immediately or chill for an hour, until ready to serve.
STRAWBERRY ETON MESS
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.

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.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Beat egg whites and salt in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until they just hold soft peaks. Gradually mix in 1 cup sugar, then continue to beat until meringue holds stiff, glossy peaks. Spoon meringue into 4 equal mounds on the prepared baking sheet. Spread each into 3 1/2-inch rounds, smoothing the tops.
- Bake in the middle of the preheated oven until crisp and firm, about 1 1/2 hours. Turn the oven off and leave meringues in until completely cooled, about 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, halve some strawberries for garnish and set aside. Slice remaining strawberries and place in a small bowl with sherry and 1 tablespoon sugar. Stir and let macerate for 20 minutes.
- Drain macerated strawberries in a sieve set over a bowl, reserving syrup.
- Beat cream in a chilled bowl until it just holds stiff peaks. Beat reserved syrup into the cream.
- Place meringues on serving plates. Top with macerated strawberries and spoon cream mixture over top. Garnish plates with halved strawberries.

Tips:
- For the best Eton mess, use fresh, ripe strawberries. If strawberries are not in season, you can use other berries such as raspberries, blueberries, or blackberries.
- If you are using frozen berries, thaw them completely before using. This will help to prevent the Eton mess from becoming icy.
- Use a good quality vanilla ice cream. This will make the Eton mess more flavorful.
- If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a resealable plastic bag. Cut off the corner of the bag and pipe the whipped cream into the glasses.
- To make the Eton mess ahead of time, assemble the layers in individual glasses or jars. Cover the glasses or jars with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When you are ready to serve, top with the meringue kisses.
Conclusion:
Eton mess is a classic British dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like it simple or fancy, Eton mess is sure to be a hit. So next time you are looking for a delicious and refreshing dessert, give Eton mess a try!
