"This is a wonderful dessert to serve after a special meal. I got it from "Bev" who is a native Australian, so it must be authentic! The combination of light meringue, whip cream, and fresh fruit is wonderful!"

  1. This is a family favorite. We have made it over and over. It is requested for birthdays and special celebrations. We love it! My daughter says the crust reminds her of dehydrated ice cream.
