About

Eton mess is generally simply strawberries and whipped cream muddled up with broken meringue, and pretty damn good it is too. But, by way of a change, here is something slightly more sophisticated and every bit as delicious.

Ingredients

For the Meringue

1 large egg white
60 g soft dark brown sugar

Dessert
Vegetarian
Gluten-free

Method

Heat the oven to 120°C/fan 100°C/gas mark ½. Line a baking tray with baking parchment.
To make the meringue, whisk the egg white with the brown sugar in a bowl with an electric whisk at high speed until stiff and glossy. Spoon the mixture onto the baking sheet in 5–6 evenly-sized dollops.
