These Christmas tree meringues are simple to make and go well with any fruit of your choosing. I chose to pair them with some half fat creme fraiche (as it is a bit lighter than cream) and some summer fruits that I defrosted from the freezer.
If you are having a party you can make the Christmas tree meringues in advance and plate them up just before you eat them. (Otherwise the meringues will start to dissolve in the creme fraiche!)
