Variations of this dish:

Berries:

  • Instead of strawberries, you can use mixed berries like raspberries, blackberries, etc.

Strawberry Rhubarb:

  • In process 2, replace the rhubarb with fourteen ounces of strawberries and boil them together, but increase the amount of sugar to one tablespoon.

Sweetener:

  • Use any variety of sweetener of your choice like monk fruit.

Dairy-free Eton Mess:

  • You can omit the Greek yogurt and whipped cream to make this dish dairy-free. The best alternative option is coconut whip, purchased from any local shop.

Serving Suggestions:

  • Pair this sweet dish with nutritious snacks.
  • Enjoy it with coffee, latte, or tea.
  • Serve this creamy dessert with vanilla bean powder and sliced fruits.

Tips:

  • Use low-calorie meringues to maintain the Weight Watchers points.
  • Choose low-fat whipped cream to reduce the fat and calories.
  • Use chilled whipped cream. Normal-temperature whipped cream will melt instantly.
  • Add fresh and high-quality seasoned fruits like strawberries, and raspberries to lower the sugar content.
  • We use a tiny amount of sugar in this dessert recipe.
  • Avoid overmixing the items during the preparation of whipped cream.

Storage Information:

Advance Preparation:

  • Prepare items in advance so you may put them together just before serving.
  • First, prepare the strawberry sauce a day in advance.
  • Make the whipping cream up to three hours ahead of time, but don’t add the meringues.
  • Before serving this sweet dish, gather all items in a bowl for a few minutes ago to avoid sogginess.

Fridge:

  • You can store the Eton Mess in a tightly closed jar and refrigerate it for 3 to 5 days but the meringue will get wet.

Freezer:

  • I won’t recommend freezing this dessert. Because it gives the best taste when fresh.

FAQs:

Can I try the recipe with different varieties of fruits?

  • I like to add blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries. You can add fruits to your choice.

Can I add store-bought whipped cream?

  • It is best to use homemade whipped cream. Because it contains fewer points of healthy fat and sugar. While store-bought whipped cream contains a high amount of artificial sweeteners.

What other crunchy items can I use instead of cookies?

  • Instead of cookies, you can use wafers, cereals, or chopped nuts for a crunchier taste.

How do we customize this dish?

  • You can add fresh mint leaves, a few drops of orange juice, or lemon zest.
