Method

Prepare

Make the Eton mess: Break the meringues into coarse pieces, cover, and store on the counter. Thaw the red fruit in a bowl in the fridge.

Make

Beat the cream with the confectioners’ sugar until fairly thick, not too stiff though; I mean coherent but still soft.

Carefully fold in everything
