Servings
Serve with style and make your dessert the talk of the town. Here are some delightful serving ideas:
💁♀️ Classic Presentation: Place a dollop of the blueberry filling on top of each meringue round. Add a swirl of the cream cheese frosting on top, and garnish with a fresh blueberry and a mint leaf for that picture-perfect finish.
🧁 Layered Magic: If you want to up your game, transform your meringues into a layered dessert. Pipe a layer of cream cheese frosting, add a spoonful of blueberry filling, and top with another meringue. Stack 'em high!
🍦 Ice Cream Combo: Crumble your meringue over a bowl of vanilla ice cream and drizzle with blueberry filling. Finish off with a dollop of cream cheese frosting. Pure indulgence!
🍹 Party Platter: Make mini versions of these pastries and arrange them on a large platter. Scatter some extra blueberries and mint leaves around for a festive touch. Your guests won't be able to resist!
Equipment
A stand mixer will whip your meringue faster and more evenly, but a hand mixer works, too! Always start on low speed to avoid splattering.

Variations
🌾 Gluten-Free Option: Great news! This recipe is naturally gluten-free. No need for any modifications.
🌱 Vegan Variation: Swap the egg whites with aquafaba (chickpea brine) to make the meringue, and use plant-based cream cheese and a coconut cream for the frosting. Instead of regular sugar, opt for organic or vegan sugar. 🌿
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.
