Eton Mess

July 22, 2016 By Holly

Happy Happy Friday y’all!! This dessert has been on my ‘must make’ list for quite a while, so I am super stoked to share this with you guys today.  Apparently, this dessert is traditionally served after Eton College’s annual cricket match with Harrow School. 

Eton-Mess| HollysCheatDay.comYou know, Eton College where Prince William, Prince Harry and I believe Tom Hiddleston swoon went? Yeah, that one, the super fancy shmancy school in England, which is kind of funny considering how un-fancy this dessert is.  Now, this dessert may not be fancy, but y’all, it is awesome! Layers of freshly whipped cream, berries and meringues, sigh, be still my heart haha. 


Eton-Mess| HollysCheatDay.comI did slightly change the recipe by using berries instead of bananas that are traditionally used, and I bought my meringues at Publix because it is way too humid around these parts to think that I would be able to make them rise properly.  I had a feeling that this would be super good, but I honestly had no idea how delicious this would be. 

Eton-Mess | HollysCheatDay.comIt’s so light and fluffy with the meringue and whipped cream and then the fresh sweetness of the berries, OMG y’all.  I also think it looks kinda pretty all layered in the trifle bowl too.  I would definitely throw this into the category of a crowd pleaser.  I hope everyone has a fabulous Friday and an even more fabulous weekend, and as always thank you so much for stopping by.
