Recipe: Winter Eton Mess Pots
Proving Eton Mess isn’t just for summer, this simple and speedy pot of deliciousness, features winter berries aplenty, and it’s courtesy of Waitrose. A real crowd pleaser, make these in advance or whip together just after supper, it couldn’t be easier (or tastier).
Ingredients:
450g pack frozen forest fruit mix
6 cloves
1 orange, pared zest
4 tbsp caster sugar
450g Yeo Valley Organic 5% Fat Super Thick Natural Creamy Yogurt
1⁄2 tsp ground cinnamon
1⁄2 tsp vanilla bean paste
4 Cooks’ Ingredients Meringue Nests, crushed
Method:
Put the frozen fruit, cloves, pared orange zest and sugar in a large saucepan. Set over a medium-high heat and cook, shaking the pan from time to time, for 8-12 minutes or until the fruit is defrosted and any juices have bubbled and thickened into a syrupy sauce; set aside to cool completely.
When ready to serve, mix the yogurt, cinnamon and vanilla in a mixing bowl. Stir through almost all of the meringue.
Remove the cloves and orange zest from the fruit. Spoon the yogurt mixture and fruit into small glasses or bowls, lightly rippling them together. Sprinkle with the reserved meringue and serve immediately.
Cook’s tip: If making in advance, prepare the fruit and the yogurt (without the meringue) and chill in separate bowls. Just before serving, crush the meringues into the yogurt, then assemble in glasses.
