Wales Eton Mess is a traditional dessert that originated in England but has become popular worldwide. It is a sweet and creamy dessert that is perfect for summer months when fresh berries are in season. This recipe adds a twist by using thick yogurt, which makes it healthier and more filling than traditional versions. The meringue provides an added crunch that contrasts perfectly with the soft cream and juicy berries. While it may not be the healthiest dessert option, it is a delicious treat that is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.
