A classic British Dessert
Since I announced that I was done with OMAD, I have been hard at work on new recipes. I know that nothing excites people as much as Keto Dessert recipes do, so I started brainstorming. My wife Deepti made a trial Keto meringue recipe, there was heavy cream and strawberries in the fridge and berries in the freezer. So I set out to make a dessert and even posted a picture on my Instagram stories. I whipped the cream and added in some of the strawberries, layered that with the meringue and made a berry puree like I did for the berry swirl cheesecakse. Little did I know that I had just created Eton Mess. Today’s recipe is my Keto Eton Mess. Enjoy
Berry Berry Nice
In my video I decided to skip the berry puree and garnish with half a strawberry and keep it more classic. I also accidentally set the oven at 175C instead of 120C which resulted in my meringue browning quite a bit, so if yours doesn’t get any colour after 30 minutes at 120C just give it 2-3 minutes at 175C to get some colour. I also recommend getting yourself a Silpat for baking the meringue on and in general for hassle free baking, if you can’t then parchment paper will suffice. Anyway I hope you enjoy the recipe. If you aren’t into creamy fruity desserts you can always try my Keto Coffee and Chocolate tart.

Recently found you on youtube and I love your content! Been going through your website and there are so many recipes that I want to try.
Question: what ‘heavy whipping cream’ do you use?
I’m new to Keto, and i’m so confused as all I can find are the low fat versions…
