For an extra touch of elegance, consider adding a drizzle of fruit coulis or a sprinkle of chopped nuts. Feel free to experiment with different types of berries or add a splash of liqueur for a more sophisticated flavor profile. If you don't have meringue cookies, you can substitute with broken biscotti or even crumbled shortbread for a similar textural element. To prevent the meringue from becoming soggy, assemble the Eton Mess shortly before serving.

Follow The Directions
01
StepChill a large mixing bowl and whisk attachment in the freezer for at least 15 minutes. (15 minutes)
02
StepPour the chilled heavy cream into the cold bowl. Beat with an electric mixer, starting on low speed and gradually increasing to medium-high, until soft peaks form. If desired, gently whisk in icing sugar. Be careful not to overwhip. (3-5 minutes)
03
StepGently crush the meringue cookies into bite-sized pieces. It's nice to have a variety of sizes for textural contrast. (2 minutes)
04
StepAdd the crushed meringue and fresh berries to the whipped cream. Using a large metal spoon or spatula, gently fold the ingredients together, being careful not to overmix. You want to maintain some distinct chunks of meringue and berries, creating a beautiful marbled effect. (2-3 minutes)
05
StepSpoon the Eton Mess into individual serving glasses or bowls. Serve immediately for the best textural experience, or chill briefly for a refreshing treat. (2 minutes)
