In reply to Katwyn. So really any plain meringue will work - I make them but you can buy them as well. In the US, you may find them in the bakery section. On brands, I'm not sure there is a specific one but Trader Joes seems to have their own brand.

What kind of meringues are used in this recipe? Are they available in stores and have a brand name, or does one need to make those first? I’ve never come across those in New England, but would love to make this recipe!

In reply to Shelby. Thanks, the cream definitely helps make it that bit more decadent, but actually for me the fruit and meringue are so good in there too.

In reply to Jolene. Thanks I agree - with this one it's an unconfirmed rumor, but a fun one. And it's delicious either way!

I can completely see why it would be a hit! I know I would love it. Anytime you add heavy cream to the picture it becomes a decadent delight!

Such a fresh dessert that is easy to prepare. Sure to be a hit at summer BBQ parties. I love the red, white and blue theme too.

I have never had this before, and it does sound perfect for a post barbecue dessert! Definitely making this ASAP!

My aunts fell in love with Eton mess when they were visiting Ireland. I should make this for them! (Of course I'd love a taste too!)

The classic Eton mess with whipped cream is gorgeous and delicious but the yogurt (drained overnight) is really close especially if you add some vanilla sugar to the yogurt. 🙂

No matter how the name came about, I just love it. What a great jumble of creamy, fruity, and crunchy all in one dessert.
