I have just made the most gorgeous Eton Mess style 'set' dessert...so easy, thought I would share! I got everything I needed in Asda.
This makes enough for four smallish portions, or two greedy ones.
All you need is
Strawberries (about half a supermarket punnet, hulled and quartered)
half a 250g tub of own brand marscapone cheese
Three own brand meringue nests, broken into chunks
block of own brand white chocolate
Melt the white chocolate bain marie style (I use a pyrex bowl over a pan of simmering water) and immediately add the marscapone - stir quickly until it is smooth and creamy. Then just add the strawbs and the meringue pieces, pile into individual bowls and chill. It sets quite firm, so is lovely with a big dollop of ice cream or pouring cream to loosen it up!
You can also use raspberries, but will need quite a lot as they stir away to nothing. You can make a gorgeous cheesecake with this recipe too - just make a Hobknob biscuit base, and pile on the mix. (You will need to double the quantities: two bars chocolate, more fruit and meringues and a whole tub of marscapone for a standard size cheesecake) As I say, it sets quite firm so you can cut it into slices.
