Ina, thank-you, you are a genius! This recipe is so satisfying and light at the same time. I've seen it several times on tv and today I made it from memory but I added the a hint of coconut flavoring to whipped cream I made and I omitted the sugar and framboise and crushed the meringues into raspberries and layered it. It was a huge hit just like that, but adding the framboise and lemon and a bit more sugar kicks it up. Thank you for your recipes, I just love them all!

There's no way you can screw up Eton Mess; so every variation is always good and this one is wonderful too! Everybody is so crazy for choclate these days that it's really nice to see other types of desserts making a comeback. My favorite dessert is English (British strawberries with lovely creamy Nestle or perhaps Devon cream with a bit of caster sugar on top. Spending my summers in England made me a bit of a fanatic about certain types of British foods -- Eton Mess is also one of them. It's luscious, quick, easy, and totally impressive. Kids love it (it's a nursery dessert but adults love it too. Oh and btw, so does Prince William! So go on a picnic, watch a cricket match, and enjoy Eton Mess. Perfect!

This is the most unassuming recipe. I never made it because it just didn't seem appealing but I needed something quick and easy so I gave it a try. AMAZING. It's really easy and so delicious. Plans to make it again and again - everyone loved it! Ina's recipes never fail to deliver!

After a huge meal of prime rib and Yorkshire pudding etc I served this as a "lighter" option for dessert. The problem was that I only made enough to serve 8 people ONE serving each..........it certainly finished things on a very high note. I will make this one again and again!

This fantastic dessert was served at the Christmas dinner we enjoyed last night. It was delicious and light, following a wonderful if somewhat heavy roast pork/scalloped potato, etc dinner. Lots of oohs and aahss from all the guests. Now I'm planning to make it for the next two dinners I have planned!! Our hostess used Grand Marnier instead of the framboise liqueur. YUMMY!!

Ina Garten is the queen of desserts, but this one disappoints for me. I found it way too sweet. Maybe if I added more cream and less berry sauce and meringue it would have cut the sweetness? Also, I couldn't find meringue shells anywhere so I had to make them from scratch which didn't make it so easy. On a positive note, all my kids gobbled it up and loved it -- kids never complain about too much sugar!
