Ingredients
- 1 Mango or twice as much if small (1 mango giving approx 1 cup diced)
- 2 passion fruit (2 fruit giving approx ¼ cup passionfruit pulp)
- 4 small meringue nests or homemade meringue - see below
- 1 cup heavy cream double cream
- 2 tablespoon confectioner's sugar icing sugar
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Peel the mango and remove the flesh from the stone. Cut the flesh into a relatively small dice.
- Cut the passionfruit in half through the middle and scoop out the pulp with a spoon. Break up any larger pieces of pulp.
- Break up the meringues into smallish pieces, roughly bite-sized.
- Put the cream, sugar and vanilla in a large bowl and whisk until it becomes soft-peak stiffness. Fold the meringue pieces into the cream.
- Divide roughly half of the mango between four glasses/serving dishes (around 2tbsp in each). Top with some of the cream-meringue mixture (using roughly half) then add another layer of mango, reserving a little for the top. Top with the remaining cream mixture then spoon over the passionfruit equally between each glass and top with the reserved mango pieces.

Notes
- Note - if you want to make your own meringue, preheat your oven to 300-310F/150-160C and line a baking sheet with parchment. For one recipe quantity, whisk one egg white until relatively firm then add 2oz/58g sugar a little at a time, whisking in each time. Spoon the mixture into 4 to 5 scoops on the parchment and bake for around 40 minutes until they are dry and sound hollow. Turn off the oven and allow them to cool in the oven.
