Fruity Eton Mess
Ingredients
- 1½ cups fresh or frozen berries, thawed
- 2 Tbsp runny honey or maple syrup
- ⅔ cup cream
- ¾ tsp vanilla bean paste (or seeds from 1 vanilla bean pod)
- 1¼ cup unsweetened natural yoghurt or coconut yoghurt
- 2 cups freeze-dried fruit pieces (e.g. lychees, pineapple, feijoa), lightly crumbled
Instructions
- Combine the berries with honey/maple syrup in a bowl and mix well until the berries start to break up a little and release their juices.
- Whisk cream in a large bowl until soft peaks form, add the vanilla paste and whisk a little more until medium peaks form. Fold through yoghurt.
- Gently fold the juicy berries into the yoghurt cream.
- To assemble, take 4 serving glasses and place a few tablespoons of crumbled freeze-dried fruit into each, layer with ⅓-½ cup yoghurt cream, another few tablespoons of freeze-dried fruit and a final layer of yoghurt cream. Garnish with any extra berries (fresh or frozen) and freeze-dried fruit
