2. Squeeze the lime juice. Peel the avocados, remove the stones (pits), then mash the flesh with the lime juice. Sweeten to taste with some or all of the sugar.

3. Whisk the egg whites until stiff, then whip the cream until softly peaking. Reserve about a quarter of the cream and fold the remainder into the avocado mixture.

4. Lightly fold in the egg whites. Spoon into six glass serving dishes and top each with a spoonful of the remaining whipped cream.

5. Chill for up to 1 hour. Decorate with the shredded lime rind and serve with Shortbread .
