Method

  1. Place the papaya, lime zest, passion fruit pulp, caster sugar and vanilla into a bowl to marinade. Whisk the cream and brown sugar with a hand-held whisk. It needs to be a really soft whip. Fold the alcohol through, if using.
  2. Layer a 1/4 of the crushed meringue at the bottom of a large glass, then spoon in a 1/4 papaya mix, then a 1/4 of the cream. Repeat, finishing with some fruit pulp and pistachios on top. Do this in 2 glasses.
