Best Strawberry Eton Mess For Mothers Day Recipes
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:
- 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.
