4. Break meringues into chunky pieces and lightly fold into the whipped cream and yogurt. Add banana, passion fruit and lime mixture, reserving some for decoration and carefully combine together. Spoon into glasses or glass bowls. Arrange the remaining banana mixture on top of the meringues and cream. Garnish with mint leaves. Serve immediately, while meringue is still crunchy.
