As you may have noticed while reading my blog, two things we don’t often have at our house are pudding, and anything made by Annie. This is because Annie doesn’t cook, and Martin shows a kind of macho disdain for dessert, preferring to concentrate on manly, hunter-gatherer stuff like meat and fish.
While he’s rarely enthusiastic about making pudding, I haven’t noticed him turning his nose up when it comes to eating the stuff. And Annie is happy to “make” dessert, as long as “making” can be interpreted as “assembling”. She did Eaton Mess the other day, and here’s a recipe.
400g berries (frozen at this time of year)
Kirsch
1 tbsp icing sugar, optional
400g fresh cream for whipping
6 plain meringues or meringue shells, or ready-made mini-meringues
Dress the berries with a splash of Kirsch and the sugar if using. Mash them up a bit if you like. Beat the cream until stiff. Add the fruit to the cream and fold through. Shortly before serving, break up the meringues and add them, folding through again. The meringues will dissolve in the cream - eat quickly if you want a bit of a crunch. Lovely, and so easy, a cat could do it.
