Our Chocolate Eton Mess is a decadent twist on the traditional dessert thought to have originated from Eton College in the UK in 1893. We’ve replaced the usual strawberries with a thick chocolate sauce.

This recipe requires only a handful of ingredients, but you can save time by substituting the homemade chocolate meringue for store-bought. Most supermarkets stock gluten-free vanilla meringue nests and bites, either of these can be used in this recipes, but as always, double check ingredients before purchasing.
