This light and refreshing treat combines crisp meringues, luscious whipped cream, and juicy raspberries to create a symphony of flavors and textures.

Ingredients
Meringues:
- Store-bought or homemade. For homemade, you’ll need:
- 3-4 egg whites
- 3/4 cup sugar
Additional Ingredients:
- Fresh raspberries: About 2 cups
- Whipped cream: 2 cups of heavy cream, whipped until soft peaks form
- Icing sugar: For dusting (optional)
- Mint leaves: For garnish (optional)
Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Meringues
If you choose to make your own meringues, follow these simple steps:
- Whip the Egg Whites: In a clean bowl, whip 3-4 egg whites until soft peaks form.
- Add Sugar: Gradually add 3/4 cup of sugar while continuing to whip until the meringue is glossy.
- Bake: Spoon the meringue onto a baking sheet in dollops and bake at a low heat (around 200°F or 90°C) until dry. This usually takes about 2 hours.
2️⃣ Whip the Cream
- Whip the Cream: In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks. Be careful not to over-beat, as it can become too thick and butter-like.
3️⃣ Assemble the Eton Mess
- Break the Meringue: Break the meringue into bite-sized pieces and layer in a serving bowl or individual glasses.
- Layer Ingredients: Add a layer of whipped cream, then a generous amount of fresh raspberries. Repeat the layering process until all ingredients are used up.
4️⃣ Garnish and Serve
- Dust and Garnish: Dust with icing sugar and garnish with mint leaves if desired.
- Serve: Serve immediately or chill for a few hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Enjoy!
