Eton Mess Sundaes with Ice Cream, Raspberry Sauce, and Crushed Meringues

Eton Mess Sundaes

This yummy take on a classic British dessert is as easy and elegant as it gets. I served this to my Book Club last month, and there was NADA left over.  It got a ringing endorsement from King-Man, too. Several times. Oh, and then from some friends who were in town visiting. Hey, it was making everyone happy, so why recreate the wheel dessert? It's easy to keep the ingredients on hand, and easy to serve.
I first saw a recipe for Eton Mess by Ina Garten featured on the cover of her newest cookbook, How Easy Is That? Ina's version is a parfait with layers of whipped cream, berry sauce, and crushed meringue cookies. I took that idea and turned it into an easy ice cream sundae. The combination of flavors and textures is hard to beat.
Wondering where Eton Mess got its name? It is a classic British dessert that originated at Eton College in the 19th century and is served at their annual cricket games against Winchester College. Read more about its history and name here.
