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.

Alternatively, make layers of meringue mixture and strawberries in a tall glass bowl or in individual tall wine or dessert glasses. Finish with rose petals scattered on top, if you like.

STRAWBERRY ETON MESS FOR MOTHER'S DAY
Number Of Ingredients 12
Steps:
- Marinade Cut strawberries in four and basil leaves in pieces. Add sugar, vinegars and mix everything together. Allow it to sit at least 15 minutes so that strawberries can absorb all the flavors and release their juices.
- Cream Whip heavy cream with sugar to stiff peaks. Add sour cream and cream cheese, homogenize.
- Almond Cover the bottom of a pan with sugar and let it caramelize. Once you have an amber caramel add the almond and stir. Remove from the heat, pour onto a sheet of baking paper. With another sheet on top, roll it to a thin layer of almond. Allow to cool and then break in pieces.
- Assembling Add a layer of strawberries, follow with a layer of cream and top with crushed meringues. Keep going all the way to the top. Garnish to taste with small meringues, caramelized almonds, and strawberries.
Tips:
- Choose the ripest, sweetest strawberries you can find. This will ensure that your Eton mess is bursting with flavor.
- Use a serrated knife to slice the strawberries. This will help to prevent them from becoming bruised.
- Don't over-mix the cream. You want it to be whipped, but not stiff. If you over-mix it, it will become grainy.
- Layer the Eton mess in a glass or bowl. Start with a layer of strawberries, then a layer of cream, and then a layer of meringues. Repeat until you've used up all of the ingredients.
- Chill the Eton mess for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the flavors to meld together.
Conclusion:
Eton mess is a classic British dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its layers of strawberries, cream, and meringues, it's a delicious and refreshing treat that is sure to satisfy everyone.
