Add the yoghurt to the bowl and stir gently until the fruit and yoghurt are thoroughly combined. Cover with cling film and place in the fridge to chill for at least 2 days.
3. Just before serving, crush the meringue shell roughly and add most of it to the mixing bowl, reserving a little for decorating. Add the flaked almonds to the bowl and stir gently until the meringue and almonds are evenly distributed. Decorate with the remaining crushed meringue and almonds and serve chilled or at room temperature.
