Red, White and Blue Food Porn: Happy Fourth of July!

This deliciously patriotic-looking dessert is the perfect thing to throw together if you are headed out to a barbecue this afternoon. It is a variation on Eton mess concocted by Maki from i was just really very hungry for a 4th of July party and it consists of only a few ingredients: strawberries, blueberries, whipped cream and meringue (for crunch). She topped hers with a few star-shaped cookies for an especially festive look.

To make one, you just need a big bowl and all the ingredients, most of which you can buy (though Maki made her own meringues). The only tricky part is getting the cookie stars, which you'll either have to track down at the market or make yourself. Of course, it's probably a good idea to read though the whole recipe because that way you'll learn all the tricks that were used in adding tasty touches to this simple dish, such as balsamic vinegar on the strawberries and adding creme fraiche to the whipped cream.

Happy 4th of July!
