Ingredients
Meringue
- 4 egg whites
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 teaspoon corn flour
- 3/4 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Cream
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch of salt
Raspberry sauce
- 2 cups of raspberries
- 1/2 cup sugar
Instructions
Making the meringue
- Set the oven to 260F.
- Pour the egg whites into a bowl, add the salt and vanilla and start whisking, 2-3 minutes until the eggs start to whiten. While continuing to whisk, add a tablespoon of granulated sugar, and continue to mix for about 15 seconds. Add another spoon-ful of sugar. Continue this process until all the sugar is gone. Add the corn flour and vinegar. Whisk until the mixture has the consistency of shaving foam and has a shiny exterior.
- Take 2 tablespoons of the meringue mixture and shape it into a round shape on the baking tray with the help of a spoon or spatula. Bake for 60-70 minutes.
Making the cream
Pour the heavy cream into a large bowl and add powdered sugar, vanilla extract and salt. Beat with a mixer until stiff. Chill in the refrigerator until the meringues are ready.
Make the raspberry sauce
Pour sugar and raspberries into a saucepan. Cook until the sugar melts and mix-ture develops into a thick consistency.
Making a Raspberry Eton Mess
When the meringues are ready, break one into a bowl. Add the cold cream first, then raspberry sauce. Serve, and watch as people learn to love all over again.
Notes
- The number of servings you get will vary depending on how large you make your meringues, and how much cream you add to each serving.
- It’s totally fine to use store bought meringues and whipped cream for this recipe.
