How to Cook Eton Mess
- First of all, make a raspberry coulis or sauce. In a saucepan place two of the three punnets (approx 12oz - 350g) raspberries with the liqueur, and cook on a slow heat until the fruits start to soften. Use a fork to roughly mash the mixture then leave to cool.
- In a large bowl, and using an electric hand whisk, whisk the cream with both sugars to nice soft peaks. In another large bowl, stir the mascarpone around to soften it, then fold in the cream.
- To build the mess, break and crumble the meringue nests into individual glass dishes and, in a very informal way, add the cream mixture with a slight stir, trying to make it look as attractive as possible but as random as possible. Pour over some raspberry coulis then top with the remaining fresh raspberries.

If you want to make this dessert sensational, just before serving sprinkle some popping candy (pop rocks candy) on the top and wait for the astonished reactions of your guests! (You'll need about 3 sachets of strawberry popping candy)
Reviews of Eton Mess
![]() This has become my go-to summer dessert - it's so easy and everyone loves it. I substitute a little pomegranate juice for the raspberry liqueur if I'm serving it to kids but, since I usually am serving it to adults, I go a little heavy on the liqueur! I even found some cute little martini glasses to serve it in! Joanna (1 review) |
![]() This was easiest & most refreshing dessert I've made to serve at dinner gathering. It was without doubt a smash. Everyone wanted seconds. I didn't have any pop rocks (don't even know what they are!!) but I had some extra meringue left and I added a few extra pieces to the top of each dessert. Everybody loved the extra crunch & sweetness. Madalyn (2 reviews) |
