Strawberry & Champagne Eton Mess
Serves: 4 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | No Cooking Required

Ingredients:

• 300ml double cream
• 2 tbsp icing sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 100g The Wooden Spoon Strawberry & Champagne Extra Jam
• 200g fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
• 4 large meringue nests, roughly crushed
• Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Whip the Cream:
   In a large mixing bowl, whip the double cream with the icing sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
2. Prepare the Strawberries:
   Reserve a few strawberry halves for garnish. Gently fold the rest into the whipped cream along with The Wooden Spoon Strawberry & Champagne Extra Jam. Swirl it lightly — don’t overmix, so you keep a beautiful marbled effect.
3. Assemble:
   In individual serving glasses or a large trifle bowl, layer the crushed meringue with the cream mixture. Add another small spoonful of the jam between layers for extra flavour.
4. Finish & Serve:
   Top with the reserved strawberry halves, a drizzle of jam, and a sprig of fresh mint. Serve immediately for the perfect summer dessert.

Serving Tip:

Chill your serving glasses in advance for an extra-refreshing finish on a warm day. This recipe can also be adapted with raspberries or mixed berries for a twist.
