Mini jars of Eton Mess

Ever since I served mini desserts in small glass jars at Christmas I have wanted to do them again! This time I went for the Summer British classic, Eton Mess! They went down a treat and everyone loved having their own jar of heaven...

Mini jars of Eton Mess (makes 8 jars)

Ingredients

• 400ml double cream
• 500g Strawberries
• Meringues
• Pinch of caster sugar

Method

1. Using a blender, puree half the strawberries
2. Whip the double cream till you get soft peaks
3. Add the pureed strawberries to the whipped cream and stir
4. Break meringues into small pieces and add to strawberry whipped cream
5. Chop the remaining strawberries into quarters, leaving 8 pieces to one side, add the rest to the creamy meringue mixture
6. Spoon mixture into glass jars (I use a disposable piping bag, with a large section of the end cut off)
7. Top each jar with a piece of strawberry
8. Seal glass jars and serve
