GLUTEN-FREE DESSERT YOU CAN WHIP UP IN 10 MINUTES

Eaton Mess is a very simple and yummy British dessert, traditionally made with strawberries. I’ve replaced them with mixed berries (frozen berries are good, too--just remember to thaw them first), and substituted yogurt for half of the heavy cream. The result is healthier and just as delicious.

Origin myths of this dessert include a Labrador who sat on a meringue dessert at an Eton picnic, and a bumpy ride to an Eton cricket match, which turned a properly layered meringue-and-strawberry cake into a mess.

INGREDIENTS:
  • 1 cup (250 g) mixed berries (fresh or defrosted)
  • 9 store-bought meringue nests
  • 4 oz (125 g) plain or vanilla yogurt
  • 2 tbsp sugar (skip if using vanilla yogurt)
  • 4 oz (125 go) heavy cream

DIRECTIONS:

1. In a bowl, crush the meringue nests and stir in the berries (save a handful for garnish).

2. Whip the yogurt and cream using an electric hand mixer (about 3 minutes).

3. Add the whipped yogurt-and-cream to the bowl and stir carefully, so everything becomes evenly distributed. 

4. Divide the mixture between plates and top with the reserved berries. 

Enjoy!
