1.Preheat the oven to gas mark 1/140c/fan oven 120c.Line a large baking sheet with non stick baking parchment and draw a 25cm(10in) circle on it.
2.In a large grease free bowl and using a hand held electric mixer whisk the egg whites until they hold their shape.Gradually add the sugar,whisking well,until the egg whitesare very stiff and glossy.
3.Spread the meringue in an even layer over teh maked out circle.Bake for 2 1/2-3 hours.Remember that the meringue is dried out ,rather than cooked,at this low temperature so excat cooking time isn't necessary.It's a good idea to keep the oven door open just a fraction to get the best possible meringue.
4.Remove the meringue from the oven.Cool it completely and then carefully peel away the baking parchment.
5.when ready to serve,whip the cream until it's holds shape.Pile in on to teh meringue and top with teh fruit.Decorate with leaves and serve
