Wikipedia: “Eton mess is a traditional English dessert consisting of a mixture of strawberries, pieces of meringue and cream, which is traditionally served at Eton College’s annual cricket game against the students of Winchester College. The dish has been known by this name since the 19th century.”
“A fool is an English dessert generally made by mixing puréed fruit, whipped cream and sugar.”
Put them together and you can end up with this…(a Fool’s Mess?)
It’s as easy as 1-2-3…
First, make some of these
Then make some of this (simmer rhubarb chunks, with a little water and enough sugar to offset the sourness, until soft)
Then do this
Finally, whip up some fresh cream and add lashings of greek yoghurt, sweeten to taste, fold in the crumbled meringues and (cooled) rhubarb compote…and Bob’s your freakin’ uncle
