Eton Mess with a twist

I love Eton Mess in all it's calorific glory. Crushed meringue and double cream oozing with summer fruits. What could be better? Well, if you'll indulge me, perhaps this, my own twist on Eton Mess with added crunchy chewy bits from vanilla blondies. I made a batch a while back for a friend's kiddie birthday party and had a few left over (plus the harder bits I always seem to get round the edge) so I froze them. When Eton Mess day arrived (doesn't everyone have an Eton Mess day? Oh, it's just me...) I defrosted them and blitzed them in the food processor until they were small chunks but not totally crumbs and added them to the meringue before stirring through the other ingredients. OMG. Heavenly.

Here's the full recipe if you fancy giving it a go. You can of course make it with or without the blondies but for a great vanilla blondie recipe I'd recommend Vanessa Kimbell's book ''.

Eton Mess with Vanilla Blondies (serves 6-8)

4 large or 12 mini meringue shells
2 tbsp icing sugar
600ml double cream
500g mixed berry fruits
Vanilla blondies blitzed into small pieces (optional)

1. Put the meringues into a plastic bag and bash them with a rolling pin until they're small chunks. Great for releasing all that pent-up anger (err... just me again?) but don't whack them so hard that they turn to dust. The chunks are the best bit.

2. Whip the double cream with the icing sugar until it forms soft peaks, not too stiff though.

3. Add the meringue and blondies (if using them) to the double cream and fold together. Then either add the berry fruits and fold once or twice only or add the fruits to the glasses afterwards as I've done in the photo. Either way you want to be able to see some of the fruit without it being totally hidden by the cream.

4. Spoon into pretty glasses lick out the bowl and serve to your guests.

Yummmmmmm.....

    My own meringues are not good to eat. I have no idea when to stop the oven to be ready cooked.

    Welcome to this glorious calorific pud! Blondies are like brownies without the chocolate. I add peanuts for a salty sweet combo. Enjoy x

    Now you've done it! I've not heard of Eton Mess, I don't get out much! But oh what I've been missing. This is soon to become my fave new addiction! I'm going to try it this week. Hmmmm, not sure what a blondie is although I did color my hair blonde for years. But I'm sure hair dye isn't what your referring to.  Will Google and find vanilla blondie recipe.  I checked out "Prepped". Wonderful site with great ideas.
