Eton Mess

This is really yummy...

150g Lake District Cheese Company plain quark
1 tbsp granulated sweetener
A few drops real vanilla essence
6-8 chopped strawberries
1 mini meringue nest, crushed (1 syn)

Stir the sweetener and vanilla into the quark and mix thoroughly. Fold in the strawberries and meringue. Chill for as long as you can wait (!). DO NOT eat the rest of the meringues straight out of the packet (this is the hard bit).

Perish the thought!

Sounds really yummy.....

Only 6 to 8 strawberries?!? As I'm getting far more strawberries, raspberries and blackcurrents from garden each day, I'm eating as much as I can and giving away lots to friends. Had bowl of chopped banana, strawberries and plain yogurt for breakfast, more berries just now, and more again this evening 🙂

Tried this today, absolutely delicious, though I did find the quark a bit too thick to properly mix in the sugar (didn't use sweetener). It's harder work than whipped cream 😉

Maybe add a splash of milk next time?

Not thick enough for me. Zero% fat Greek yogurt might be OK.
