Eton mess for Christmas
Eton mess is a favourite during the festive season — not just for its delicious taste, but also for its quick and easy preparation. It can be ready in just 15 minutes, making it ideal when you’ve already spent time in the kitchen on other courses. You can even prepare ahead of time by chopping the strawberries and breaking up the meringues before dinner to make things even easier.
Beekers’ tip: Serve the ingredients in individual glasses so everyone has their own Eton mess.
