The Eton mess (about its origin) is an English dessert that consists of cream, strawberries and pieces of crunchy meringue. It is served by the glass, and we could adapt it as a summer dessert by enriching it with ice cream and using another seasonal fruit other than strawberries. We do not have strawberries on the market now, so to prepare this kind of trifle, we will resort to frozen red fruits.

Ingredients

500 gr. of fruits of the forest
1 tablespoon of vanilla sugar (or a few drops of aroma)
2 tablespoons sugar
500 ml. whipping cream
5 tablespoons of powder sugar
8 small crunchy meringues
Strawberry syrup

Preparation

We prepare the fruit. Defrost it at room temperature or in the fridge and drain it very well before using it in the dessert. Mix it with the white sugar and reserve in the fridge.
Whip the cold cream with the icing sugar and the vanilla aroma. When it is thick, but not too firm, we have it ready. It is about making a chantilly.
We crumble the meringue nests into small pieces.
In a glass we alternate layers of fruit with chantilly and meringues.
Decorate with the rest of the chantilly and syrup, which can be served with the juice of the fruit itself.
