Description

This is a delicious version of Eton Mess with chopped Spanish persimmons, crushed raspberries and pomegranate seeds, whipped cream, and meringue pieces.

Ingredients

2 medium Spanish persimmons
2 cups fresh raspberries
1/2 cup pomegranate, seeds only, or more to taste
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
8 small plain meringue cookies, coarsely crushed

Directions

1 Remove the leafy tops from the persimmons, slice the flesh, and add to a large bowl. Crush the raspberries lightly with a fork and add these to the bowl with the pomegranate seeds. Stir gently to combine.
2 Beat cream in a chilled glass or metal bowl with an electric mixer until firm peaks form. Fold in meringue and stir gently.
3 Spoon some of the fruit mixture into 4 decorative glasses. Layer the cream and meringue mixture on top, alternating with the fruit mixture. Make sure you reserve a little fruit for the top, then serve.
