Based on the modern classic eton mess, this colourful mango and elderflower dessert swaps out the more common strawberries for juicy ripe mango, marinated in floral elderflower cordial.

Ingredients
- 2 ripe mangoes
- 2 tbsp elderflower cordial or elderflower liqueur
- 2 tbsp icing sugar
- 300g double cream
- 4 shop-bought meringue nests
- Elderflowers to garnish (optional, if in season)
Method
- Peel and stone both mangoes. Slice one into nice wedges and put in a bowl with the elderflower cordial or liqueur. Roughly chop the second mango, then whizz with the icing sugar until smooth.
- Whip the cream to soft peaks, then stir in about a third of the mango purée. Roughly break up the meringue nests. When you’re ready to serve you can either mix everything together in a bowl, then divide among glasses, or if you fancy a nicer presentation, layer up in glasses with a layer of mango, followed by cream and pieces of meringue, then a drizzle of purée. Finish with fresh elderflowers, if you like.
