What a Mess!

With leftover ingredients from Mama's birthday Pavlova, I made the famed British dessert, Eton Mess.  It's true that it's not attractive, but it tastes delicious (I actually first connected the two dishes here).

Eton Mess
whipping cream
meringue cookies
strawberries
sugar

Wash, hull, and slice the strawberries and macerate them with some sugar.  Whip the cream until soft peeks form.  Crumble in meringue cookies (I used one 4-5" Pavlova cookie, but you can use store-bought cookies).  Fold in strawberries.  Serve immediately.
