My Classic Eton Mess Recipe (Strawberries, Cream, Meringue, Ice Cream)

• strawberries fresh or frozen depends on the season, quality and cost
• whipped cream
• ice cream
• meringue

1. Wash all your strawberries and remove the stalk. Then mash up all your strawberries except for 1-3 which you will use for decoration (1/2 strawberry per serving).
2. Crush your meringues and set them aside.
3. Whip your cream or take your spray out of the fridge and your ice cream as well.nnWhipping your cream:nhip it when it is straight out from the fridge since the colder it is the easier it is.nhip it on medium/high speed and when it starts to thicken add 2 tablespoons of sugar or powdered sugar. Whip until soft or stiff peaks but be beware if you over whip it you will end up with butter (have happened to me too many times when I was a child) so soft peaks will be more safer.nnPrepare your dishes in which you will serve and add as following: strawberries - meringue - ice cream - whipped cream and repeat until your serving bowl is full or you run out of your ingredients. Decorate with whipped cream on the top and a half of a strawberry.
4. Serve immediately or put it in the freezer for a while.nnnnjoy.
