Remarks
All types of dried fruit can be modified if you wish. Instead of apricots, raisins, almonds and pistachios, you can use walnuts, hazelnuts, prunes, bananas, etc.

Two methods are possible for the meringue:
- French meringue", which is classic egg white + powdered sugar.
- Italian meringue", where the sugar is cooked before being added to the egg whites.
Keeping: Several weeks in the freezer.
