Serves 4

Ingredients

Meringues:
- 3 egg whites, room temperature
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2c granulated sugar
- 3/4c powdered sugar, sifted
- 2tbs cornstarch

Whipped cream:
- 1 pint heavy whipping cream, cold
- Seeds of 1 vanilla bean, scraped out or 1 tbs vanilla extract
- 2 tbs powdered sugar

Other bits:
- 3-4 passionfruit (or 1 cup of strawberries, sliced)
- 1 jar of Banana Jam

Directions

For Meringues:
- Preheat oven to 225F
- Whisk egg white and a pinch of salt in the clean bowl of an electric mixer until firm peaks form (3-4 minutes).
- Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue to whisk until thick and glossy (2-3 minutes).
- Sift powdered sugar & cornstarch over egg whites, fold to combine.
- Spoon into 3 inch diameter meringues onto a tray lined with baking paper. Bake until meringues lift easily from trays and are crisp / not colored (45-50 minutes), then turn off oven and cool completely in oven.

For Whipped Cream:
- Combine all ingredients, beat with electric mixer until soft peaks form (do not over beat!)

To Serve:
- Break up the meringues and fold in with the cream, passionfruit and Banana Jam.
- Eat with a spoon & napkin!

**Notes:
- Can substitute strawberries for passionfruit (the OG Eton mess was made with strawberries).
- Can also add sliced banana
- Can also be served w/ ice cream, if you are feeling extra decadent!
- Feel free to use store bought meringues if you have access to quality ones!
