How to Make Eaten Mess

  1. Preheat oven to 130°C (110°C fan/Gas Mark 1). Line two baking trays with greaseproof paper.
  2. In a clean, grease-free bowl, whisk 4 large egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gradually add 200g caster sugar, whisking continuously until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  3. Spoon the meringue mixture onto the prepared baking trays, creating small (approx. 5cm diameter) circles. Leave some space between each meringue.
  4. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the meringues are crisp and dry. Let them cool completely on a wire rack.
  5. In a separate bowl, whip 300ml heavy cream until it forms soft peaks. Be careful not to overwhip.
  6. Wash and cut 250g of your favorite fresh fruit (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, etc.) into bite-sized pieces.
  7. Roughly crush the cooled meringues into a large serving bowl. Gently fold in the whipped cream and the prepared fruit until just combined.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy!
