Privacy NoticeYou might have heard of Eton Mess but have you heard of Black Forest Mess? This dessert is a great wintry alternative to the summer pud and it’s both cost-effective and tasty for foodies. It’s made of just six ingredients, including double cream, chocolate brownies, and mini meringues – you can add some alcohol to it if you want it to have a bit of a boozy kick. The fruit in this dessert gives it a fresh flavour while the chocolate adds richness and depth to it plus it’s a tried and tested recipe from Good Housekeeping: The Ultimate Christmas Collection. A real ye-catcher to serve at the end of a festive meal, it goes well with a scoop of cream or ice cream if you’re feeling extra indulgent over the holiday period. Black Forest Mess
This Black Forest Mess is rich and delicious

Spread into a 2-litre shallow serving dish and level. ■In a food processor, whizz half the defrosted fruits with the remaining 2 tablespoons of icing sugar to make a purée. ■Drizzle the fruit purée over the cream layer. Dot the brownie pieces and 12 of the whole meringues over the fruit layer, then scatter over the remaining defrosted whole fruit. ■Crumble over the remaining meringues and decorate with the chocolate stars, if using. Serve. (You can get ahead by preparing the recipe to the end of step 2 up to one day ahead. Cover the serving dish with foil and chill. Keep the purée and whole fruit in separate covered containers.)
