Eton Mess Rocky Road Recipe!

Hello lovelies,

You’ve probably heard me say this 100+ times before but my family absolutely LOVE a rocky road. It’s a firm favourite and I can always guarantee that the entire thing will be demolished within the first 48 hours after making it.

When scrolling through my Pinterest recently, I came across a picture of an eton mess, yes you read right, an eton mess rocky road and you can only imagine my excitement.

Me personally, I’ve only ever dabbled in the ‘traditional’ rocky roads so to see a totally new version that looked absolutely delicious, you just know I had to try it for myself.

I mean, everyone loves eton mess, right? And this rocky road I’m sharing with you today contains all the goodness of an eton mess, from the meringue to the strawberries, just in a rocky road form. Take my word for it when I say, it was absolutely blooming sensational.

And, as summer is coming to an end, i know it can be a very depressing time for some, therefore it felt like the perfect time to make this eton mess rocky road to keep those summer days alive for that little bit longer.

So, if this eton mess rocky road has caught your eye and got you wanting more, you know the drill. Keep on scrolling below and you’ll find today’s recipe.

Notes:

• You can use whatever ingredients your prefer to make your rocky road, the only thing I would recommend not using is fresh strawberries.
• I used shop brought meringue nests for ease but you can totally use meringues kisses or even make them yourself, this is my favourite meringue recipe: https://ellegracedeveson.com/2024/07/10/mini-summer-fruit-pavlovas-recipe/
• Store the rocky road in an airtight container for 1-2 weeks at room temperature or 3 weeks in the fridge.
