Yotam first made these around Christmastime for his weekly column in the Guardian. They are intentionally oversized—just as good hung from the tree as an ornament as they are to eat—and last for ten days, so, fortunately, their use as both decoration and edible treat are not mutually exclusive options.

Tip

If placing the meringues on the tree, use a strip of ribbon to gently wrap each one, as you would a present, creating a bow and leaving a long piece of ribbon to hang them with. If you want to make them just for the table, use the same amount of meringue mixture to produce twelve regular-sized meringues. These are great served with cream and stewed cranberries as a seasonal dessert.
