Variations

🌾 Gluten-Free Option: Great news! This recipe is naturally gluten-free. No need for any modifications.

Faq

  • Why isn't my meringue stiffening?

    Egg whites whip best at room temperature and in a clean, grease-free bowl. Make sure no yolk has snuck into your whites.

  • Can I use frozen blueberries?

    Absolutely! Just thaw and drain them before cooking to avoid excess water in your filling.

  • How do I know if the meringue is done?

    The meringue should be firm to touch and slightly golden on the edges. It should easily lift off the parchment paper.

  • How can I stabilize my cream cheese frosting?

    Ensure all ingredients are cold before whipping. You can also add a bit more powdered sugar if it's too runny.

  • Can I store the meringue overnight?

    Yes, keep them in an airtight container at room temperature to retain their crunch.

  • How do I prevent my meringue from cracking?

    Lower the oven temperature or let the meringue cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar after baking.
