About

A crisp meringue with a soft marshmallowy centre, lavishly topped with a tangy lemon and passion fruit cream and winter fruits. Here we photographed just a 25cm single disc, which would need exactly half the ingredients given and serve 6. If you want to make this smaller meringue, be generous with the fruits and use about 600g. Do read my tips on perfect meringues before you begin.
