Peel the papayas, remove the seeds and cut the flesh into cubes

Add to a blender, combine with the lime zest and lime juice, and blend until smooth

Transfer to a serving dish

Beat the egg whites until stiff, gradually add the sugar while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form

Using two tablespoons, shape into small balls and place in a deep frying pan with simmering water (the water should not be boiling)

Cook for 30 seconds on each side

Remove the balls with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels

Arrange the cooked balls on top of the papaya creme in the serving dish

Serve chilled
