Eton Mess with Gideon the Ninth

Fiction To Sink Your Teeth Into, a feature from author and professional chef Rohan O’Duill!

Gideon only wants to go to Magnus and Abigail’s 11th anniversary party because she really wants to eat a dessert. So I thought it fitting that we prepare that dessert to go with reading Gideon the Ninth. The dessert described is cream with fruit and sugar, which sounds a lot like an Eton Mess. Bonus, that’s a super simple recipe to make!

Ingredients

250ml whipping cream1 punnet strawberries, or any berries or fruit you can get your hands on.A couple of méringue nests

Equipment

• A whisk, or a stand mixer if you don’t have all that whisking in you.

Method

Whisk the cream until it forms small peaks. Crumble up the méringue and dice the strawberries.Mix everything together and serve in a fancy ass glass, if you have one.

Time to binge on some super sweet treats and this necromancer story.

Note: you could make the méringue, but that’s like work and stuff, and they are super cheap to buy, so forget that.
