Felix's Christmasy Pavlova
4 hours
The best time to make this is early in the morning so then the meringue can completely dry out after cooking and you can slice the fruit and make the cream while the meringue is in the oven. The best way to cut the strawberries and kiwi-fruit is to slice them and then half them vertically.
