blackberry eton mess

 

An old favourite with a twist of adding Greek yoghurt to enhance the flavour. Instead of strawberries, I’ve used blackberries, but this desert works equally well with any soft fruit in season.

ingredients

 

Servings


  • 100 ml double cream

  • 100 grams natural greek yoghurt

  • 100 grams blackberries

  • 2 meringues, ready made

  • 2 tablespoons caster sugar


implements

 

for cooking 2 servings

  • large mixing bowl

  • small mixing bowl

  • electric mixer / whisk

instructions

 

1. With the electric mixer whip the double cream until it forms soft peaks. Add Greek yoghurt and 2 tablespoons of caster sugar and whisk for a few seconds more until smooth.

2. Roughly break up two meringues and gently fold them into the mix. Set aside.

3. In the small mixing bowl place most of blackberries (leaving a few for decoration) and crush them with a fork.

4. Carefully add the crushed fruit into the mix, gently folding them in, and then carefully spoon into the serving glasses. Decorate with the remaining blackberries.

To serve: Place it in the fridge for 15 minutes before serving. You can of course leave them in the fridge for longer but the crushed meringues will gradually start dissolving into sugar so make sure you have them in larger pieces in the first place.
