#IBSD14 - Hijacked By Twins Toddler Friendly Eton Mess

Hi my name is Kirsty and I am a UK food and family blogger.

My blog is Hijacked By Twins. I am a very busy stay at home mum of three children, a 9 year old son and 2 year old boy/girl twins.

I am sharing a post with you on Loving Lunches as part of International Blog Swap Day and Loving Lunches will be sharing a post with my readers. This is a fantastic event that has been made possible by the great Tots100 and Digital Parents teams in UK and Australia.

When I started to think about what I would share with you I decided to make a typically British treat which could be adapted for toddlers.

After a lot of thought and some tweets with Jackie from Loving Lunches, Eton Mess was suggested. This immediately stood out as a recipe that I could make into a toddler treat! I got my foodie head on and I started planning.

I have tried a couple of variations and have finally settled on a recipe that was tried and tested by the twins.

As you can see little Taylor, in particular, couldn't get enough!

This is what I did...

Toddler Friendly Eton Mess

Ingredients

Servings x 4

100g summer fruits (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, redcurrants, blackcurrants)
4 strawberries, chopped
100mls double cream
4 ginger biscuits, crushed

Method

1 - Blend the summer fruits until you have a fruit puree

2 - Sift the puree to remove any pips

3 - Whisk the cream until thick

4 - As as much or as little of the fruit puree as you wish

5 - Place the summer fruit cream in the fridge for at least an hour

6 - To prepare the dessert divide the chopped strawberries into bowls

7 - Spoon on a generous helping of the summer fruit cream

8 - Sprinkle over the crushed ginger biscuits and top with a berry of your choice

This is a great toddler friendly version of a classic Eton Mess. The twins loved the addition of the ginger biscuits and were asking for more to be sprinkled over the top!

This recipe will allow you to make 4 desserts and will keep in the fridge for the following day, however do not add the biscuits until you are ready to serve.

Enjoy x
