One of the easiest desserts but fantastic flavour. There is no baking necessary unless you make the meringues. I haven't really included amounts because I think it depends on your preferences - want a bit more cream? add a bit more cream etc. It was invented in Eton College in the 19th Century but apparently it is unclear as to whether it was banana or strawberries used in the recipe originally and the meringue part is a late addition. Whatever it may have been, the version below is most common, it is now typically served in the height of summer when strawberries are at their best.
Meringues
Cream
A punnet or two of strawberries
Method
- Wash and hull the strawberries and then cut them into halves or quarters.
- Whip Cream
- Break up meringues
- Throw them all in a bowl mix and serve
Variations
Any fruit can be used or indeed a little lemon with some passion fruit thrown in for good measure (don't over mix because you want to be able to taste the different layers)
