Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Fresh raspberries
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 300 ml Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 4 large Meringues (store-bought or homemade)
- 50 grams Shelled pistachios, unsalted
- 5 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place half of the raspberries in a small bowl and sprinkle with the granulated sugar. Use a fork to gently mash the berries until they form a chunky sauce. Set aside.
In a large, chilled mixing bowl, pour the heavy cream and add the vanilla extract. Use a hand whisk or an electric mixer to whip the cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
Gently crumble the meringues into bite-sized pieces and fold them into the whipped cream, leaving some pieces larger for added texture.
Roughly chop the pistachios, reserving a small handful for garnish.
In a serving dish (or individual glasses), layer the whipped cream mixture, the raspberry sauce, the remaining whole raspberries, and a sprinkling of chopped pistachios. Repeat layers as needed.
Top with the reserved pistachios and garnish with fresh mint leaves, if using.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Raspberry and Pistachio Eton Mess!
