Well, today has been something of a mess so this dessert was fitting. Some A-hole dumped their garbage at the end of our drive way so now Husband and I are dealing with that. Neither of us wants to do anything with it and are trying to shove it off on the other. I wish I could find the jerk that did this and go punch them in the crotch. I mean if you're going to dump garbage somewhere dump it in a plaza or something!! Not in a private residential area. It makes it look like it's our mess all over the street.
Anyhow, to make Eton Mess you need meringue nests. I didn't know where to buy these so I just made some. I googled a recipe and went for it. One hour later my meringues were ready and I started on Nigella's recipe. Which is pretty freakin easy to make (which is good because by now my nerves are shot after my day at work and the garbage debacle). Whip the cream ,crumble in meringue, fold in strawberries and serve. Simple. I used fresh squeezed pomegranate juice and decided to add the seeds to the strawberry mixture too.
This dessert is very delicious and very, very sweet. My goodness, I felt diabetes setting in halfway through my bowl. If you make your own meringues I might add a little less sugar. But if you've got a real sweet tooth then you'll love this.
