Eaton Mess Cheesecake

Eaton Mess is a traditional English dessert made with meringues, strawberries and fresh cream. I have been making this delicious dessert on and off for quite a while until recently when I thought of switching things up a bit and transmuting Eaton Mess Simple Dessert into Eaton Mess Cheesecake.

This heavenly combination of strawberries and meringues is really easy to assemble. The no bake base consists of a buttery layer of digestive biscuits and butter crowning a luscious filling of chopped strawberries, light as a cloud crushed meringuess along with a cream cheese filling. To make things even more tempting the crown of the cheesecake is topped off with gems of fresh strawberries and more crushed meringues. Mmm... what else do you want?

You can also use blue berries or raspberries incase you don't fancy strawberries. Infact it's nice to try out different flavours each time you make Eaton Mess Cheesecake. This cheese cake is really perfect as a make ahead dessert or next time take it to a high tea party and I'm sure you will be invited again.

Note: The cheesecake will get somewhat soggy when you add the fresh strawberries and meringues. Meaning that it will not set as firmly as a normal cheesecake would.
