Eton Mess
Ingredients
- 4 egg whites
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 lb strawberries
- 3/4 cup heavy cream + 1-2 tbl spoon sugar
Directions
- Preheat oven to 250 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and put in the oven to warm up.
- Beat egg whites with a mixer (start slowly, add a few drops of lemon juice and cream of tartar, increase speed; when they hold soft peaks, gradually add sugar and beat until stiff peaks).
- Take out the baking sheet and spoon meringue into 4 mounds, spread each into a flat round. Put in the oven and immediately decrease temperature to 225 F. Bake for at least 1.5 - 2 hrs. until crisp and pale beige in color. Cool and peel of the parchment.
- Slice strawberries and stir with some Sherry, macerate 20 min and drain, reserving syrup. Beat heavy cream with a bit of sugar and add reserved syrup. Spoon cream over meringues and top with sliced strawberries. Eat immediately.
