Eton Mess

Cut the strawberries into bite-size pieces, then place in a small bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons sugar.

Break the meringues into different sizes for texture – large chunks, bite-size pieces, and dust.

In a mixer bowl fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk together cream, vanilla, and 2 tablespoons sugar until soft peaks form. Avoid overbeating.

Layer meringues, strawberries, and cream in a large trifle bowl or 4-6 individual serving dishes.

Gently fold strawberries and meringues into the whipped cream and place mixture in serving dishes. Serve immediately.
