Wikipedia: “Eton mess is a traditional English dessert consisting of a mixture of strawberries, pieces of meringue and cream, which is traditionally served at Eton College’s annual cricket game against the students of Winchester College. The dish has been known by this name since the 19th century.”
“A fool is an English dessert generally made by mixing puréed fruit, whipped cream and sugar.”
Put them together and you can end up with this…(a Fool’s Mess?)
It’s as easy as 1-2-3…
First, make some of these
Then make some of this (simmer rhubarb chunks, with a little water and enough sugar to offset the sourness, until soft)
Then do this
Finally, whip up some fresh cream and add lashings of greek yoghurt, sweeten to taste, fold in the crumbled meringues and (cooled) rhubarb compote…and Bob’s your freakin’ uncle

if you eat this fresh it will work but with my rhubarb i like to add some lemon for a citrus taste and to ensure i can keep it over night if i make it in the evening i serve it with shortbread biscuits to give you something to crunch on i have my rhubarb fool recipe with the twists on my website
This is an interesting mix of desserts. I am looking forward to making this. By the way I love the name, A Fools Mess – it’s a catchy name for your dessert.
