Carthaginian Mess

⚽ World Cup 2018 Game 14 – Tunisia vs. England

During the hot summer days, nothing screams “posh” more than a cool, light Eton Mess. My take, the Carthaginian Mess, substitutes the traditional strawberries of this British dessert with Tunisian influences of apricots and pomegranates.  The whipped topping also has yogurt for a velvety tart texture interspersed with the meringue crunch. Pinky up regardless of where you enjoy it.
