Ingredients (serves 2):

• 200g strawberries
• 1 peach
• 2tsp Tajín + extra for dipping
• 1tsp sugar + extra for dipping
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1 vanilla pod
• Pinch of chilli powder
• 150ml double cream
• 1 tsp icing sugar
• 2 meringue nests

1. Chop most of your fruit into bite-sized pieces and set aside two halved strawberries and some sliced peach for a garnish

2. Combine the chopped strawberries and peaches with the Tajín and sugar, give it a good mix up and set aside to macerate

3. Scrape the seeds out from your vanilla pod and add half of the seeds to a small pot with the honey and chilli powder

4. Bring to the boil and cook for 1-2 min, then set aside to cool – this is your vanilla hot honey

5. Combine your double cream and icing sugar with the remaining vanilla seeds and whisk until soft peaks form – this is your chantilly cream

6. Build your Eton mess: spoon some of the fruit into the bottom of a glass or bowl with some chantilly cream and crumble over some meringue. Alternate the fruit, cream and meringue until you’ve filled your vessel

7. Dip your halved strawberries and peach slices into a little sugar then a little Tajín and top your Eton Mess with them

8. Drizzle over the vanilla hot honey – this is your Tajín Strawberry & Peach Eton Mess With Vanilla Hot Honey. Enjoy!
