Authentic Eton Mess Recipe Eton, England

Refreshing and delicious, yet so simple to make, Eton Mess is a traditional British dessert known worldwide. Around for over a century, the dessert has seen many variations; however, the traditional recipe remains fairly uncomplicated. The treat is made out of strawberries, whipped cream, egg whites, and sugar. Egg whites and sugar are mixed together in a bowl, then dropped in even amounts onto a baking tray. Once baked, the meringue has to cool down completely, preferably overnight, before it is ready to be broken into smaller pieces. Strawberries are washed, hulled, and chopped, then, together with the meringue, folded into whipped cream. There are numerous variations on the original recipe, including the use of different types of fruit (blueberries, pomegranate, passion fruit, oranges, and more) and flavorings, such as chocolate, rosewater, and mint. The treat is usually served in glass serving cups or a bigger serving dish.
