Step-by-step
- Find the biggest plate or casserole dish you have, and line the bottom with the strawberries and half the frozen berries (150g).
- Pouring straight from the pots, throw the yoghurt and fromage frais all over the berries. Use as much or as little as you like.
- Top with mini meringues in a pretty pattern, then dust with icing sugar.
- For the cassis sauce: blitz the remaining thawed berries in an electric mixer, then add the creme de cassis (again, as much or as little as you like!). Strain through a sieve and serve in a jug alongside the Eton Mess. Alternatively, enjoy with double cream.
