What is a traditional British dessert that is popular during summer? Which dessert includes those luscious British strawberries? It is my favorite dessert Eton Mess.
This dessert originated at Eton College. It was traditionally served at Eton’s annual cricket match against the students at Harrow School.
What are the ingredients? It has traditionally included strawberries, hard meringue, and double cream. Why is mess a part of its name? It is because all the ingredients bare mixed together in a big mess. The hard meringues will soften as they sit.
How can you make a healthier version? If you are making it at home you can replace half the cream with plain greek yogurt. To mix it up further you can even substitute other berries.
This dessert is gluten-free and vegetarian. Hard meringues are usually made with egg whites and sugar. In the U.K. hard meringues are readily obtainable at different food stores such as Whole Foods and Sainsburys. When dining out always make sure the chef did not add in additional ingredients if you have food sensitivities.
I am partial to British strawberries. I think they are the best. Eton Mess is my favorite English summer time treat. If you fancy strawberries, you may want to order Eton Mess. It is delicious!

I made it myself last summer after bringing some hard meringues back with me. It is that much easier if you buy them already made. I think even Martha Stewart has an Eton Mess recipe online.
