This delicious Berry Mess is a fun recipe that kids will love to help make as it is very easy to create. Our berry mess was absolutely amazing and didn’t last at all. There are many different varieties you could make depending on the tastes of your family. We love berries – and we had lots on hand – so that is what I used. You could also use a different variety of grated chocolate on top too!
With this recipe I took an easy way out and purchased already made mini meringues from Woolworths. You can make your own mini meringues or large meringues and crush them us a little when serving to make them more bite-sized.
You could also use any berries or even banana pieces, passionfruit or kiwi fruit as well. There are so many options for that you can make it to suit your family.
