Cooking Steps
• Drain mango slices in juice (see ingredients) and roughly chop. • Thinly slice mint leaves. • Roughly chop macadamias. • Zest lime and slice in half.
• In a large bowl or jug, whisk thickened cream and vanilla-flavoured syrup with electric beaters, until soft peaks form and almost doubled in size, 1-2 minutes.
TIP: If you don‘t have electric beaters, use a hand whisk and whisk for 3-4 minutes. TIP: Chill both your bowl and cream before whipping to produce a larger increase in volume.
• Gently stir lime zest and lime juice (see ingredients) into the whipped cream.
• Break up meringue nests into large chunks, then arrange onto a serving platter.
• Dollop zesty cream around meringue chunks.
• Top with mixed berry compote, mango, macadamias and flaked almonds. • Garnish with mint to serve. Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavour: The lime and mint added a refreshing twist, though some found the berry compote overly sweet.
- Ease of prep: For best results, assemble ingredients just before serving to maintain the meringue's crunch.
- Suggestions: Consider reducing the berry compote or serving it on the side to balance sweetness.
- Leftovers: This dessert is best enjoyed fresh, as the meringue softens when stored.
