Cheats Eaton Mess

This simple Eton Mess is a joyful celebration of summer’s best berries—light, creamy, and bursting with flavour.

A twist on the classic, it blends whipped cream with tangy coconut yoghurt and a swirl of mashed raspberries for a vibrant pink hue.

You can make your own meringues if time allows, but shop-bought ones work beautifully too, adding that essential sweet crunch with ease.

It’s a perfect last-minute dessert that feels effortless but delivers all the delight of seasonal abundance.
