Eton mess recipes
Classic Eton mess is a quick, crowd-pleasing dessert when made with shop-bought meringue. It's also a great way to use up broken homemade meringue. Classically Eton mess is made with whipped cream, meringue and strawberries, but you can add anything from a dash of port to a splash of ginger cordial for a twist, or try it with raspberries, bananas and pineapples.

Purists would insist Eton mess should only contain strawberries, but other British summer berries like raspberries, redcurrants and even blackberries are delicious. You can always buy meringues which turns Eton mess into a 10-minute-pudding.
