American Eton Mess Recipe

I have been wanting to try Eton Mess for a long time. This classic British dessert has plagued me and I finally decided, why the hell not? I don't even like meringue but let's do this because it screams summer to me. I've adapted the BBC Good Food version below, since their's is in metrics.
