Steps:
- Butter a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with a parchment circle. Cover the bottom of the pan with the pound cake, using any extra pieces to line the sides of the pan if desired. Scoop the mango and passion fruit sorbets onto the pound cake, packing it in tightly and alternating the scoops to create a marbled or checkerboard effect. Spread with an offset spatula to make a smooth top. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
- Unmold the cake by running a knife around the edge, then unhinge the springform and remove. Invert the cake onto a sheet of plastic wrap and remove the bottom of the pan and the parchment. Place a plate on the bottom and invert once more.
- Add the heavy cream, confectioners' sugar and vanilla to a large bowl and whip with an electric mixer on medium-high until soft peaks form. (This makes enough frosting to cover the top and sides of the cake with additional to pipe decorations if desired.)
- Frost the top and sides of the cake with the whipped cream frosting and drizzle with the caramel sauce. If the cake begins to get too soft, put it back into the freezer for a few minutes.
- Freeze another 1 1/2 to 2 hours or overnight. Before serving, let the cake sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 250°F, with racks in upper and lower thirds. Stir together sugar and cornstarch. In the bowl of a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat egg whites with lemon juice and salt on low speed until frothy. Increase speed to medium-high and gradually add sugar mixture, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Draw two 5-by-10-inch rectangles on a sheet of parchment, spaced at least 2 inches apart. Turn parchment upside-down on a baking sheet and adhere corners with masking tape or tiny dollops of meringue. Repeat with another sheet of parchment and baking sheet, so you have 4 rectangles total. Divide meringue evenly among rectangles; spread to edges with an offset spatula.
- Bake until meringues are crisp and dry on outsides, but not developing any color, about 1 hour. Turn oven off (do not open door); let cool and continue drying in oven at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.
- Temper sorbets in refrigerator until softened but not melting, about 15 minutes. Transfer one meringue layer to a freezer-safe plate or tray. Gently spread one pint of sorbet evenly to edges of meringue. Repeat with remaining meringue and sorbet layers, topping with last meringue layer. Freeze until firm, at least 3 hours or, wrapped in plastic, up to 2 days.
- Beat cream to soft peaks on medium-high speed. Spread over top of cake; sprinkle with berries, coconut, and seeds. Slice and serve immediately, or cover with plastic wrap and return to freezer until ready to serve, up to 4 hours.

- Freeze your fruit ahead of time. This will help it to blend more smoothly and will also make it easier to scoop.
- Use a high-powered blender or food processor. This will help to create a smooth and creamy texture.
- Don't over-blend your sorbet or ice cream. Over-blending can make it icy and grainy.
- Chill your serving glasses before assembling the parfaits. This will help to keep the parfaits cold and prevent them from melting too quickly.
- Garnish your parfaits with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or chopped nuts. This will add a touch of elegance and flavor.
