Cherry mess
Inspired by the infamous Eton Mess, this is a super quick summery dessert that doesn’t require hours slaving away in a hot kitchen.

Cherry mess

Servings: 4

Ingredients

300g fresh cherries, stalk removed and pitted
2 tbsp sugar
3 tbsp good quality gin or water
100g good quality, store-bought meringues
250ml whipping cream

Directions

Place the cherries into a warm saucepan and mix in the sugar and gin/water.

Simmer for 5-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cherries start to release their juices and the sauce becomes syrupy.

Remove the cherry compote from the stove and let it cool.

Roughly crush the meringue (not too finely), and whip the cream until slightly stiff.

Gently arrange the meringue, cream and cherry compote in a serving bowl. Top with extra fresh cherries and a drizzle of the cherry compote syrup to serve.
