Morello Cherry Eton Mess

Beat cream, sugar and vanilla with an electric mixer using the whisk attachment until soft peaks form.

Spoon 2 tablespoons of cream into the bottom of each of four 250ml serving glasses, then sprinkle on a layer of crushed meringues and cherries. Repeat layer, using a bit more cream this time. Top with a dollop of cream and almonds. Serve immediately.

Note: If you need to toast your almonds, place flaked almonds in a dry frying pan and cook, over medium heat, for about 2 minutes, stirring or flipping often, until golden brown. Transfer to a plate to cool.
