12 Days of Christmas :: 7 Meringue Swans

mood: excited excited
music: Hold Up :: The Living End
On the seventh day of Christmas my true love baked for me; 7 swans a-swimming.



Meringue swans are one of my favourite desserts to make. I've served them many different ways and on many different things, but they've yet to hit the blog. This version is really simple to make, and is easy enough to dress up any way you fancy.

Those look totally divine!

And since you have give notes on how to make the swan shapes, I might even have a chance at making something that looks swanlike.

These look great on the lemonade jelly. The combination of the meringue, cream and jelly tasted really good.

The first time I came across this post I was too awed by the swans to notice that they're set on a jelly plate. Did you make it? Would you consider sharing how? :)

I just used one of those make-your-own-flavour type jellies and added lemonade to it, added a little extra gelatine and poured it onto the plate. Took about an hour in the fridge to set.
