Blueberry Swirled Meringues
I hope your week is off to a great start and that, like me, you're settling into daylight saving time. I noticed that quite a few folks on social media were kind of cranky about the time change. I'm one of those people who greets it with open arms. I love the extra hour of sunlight in the evening. Plus, setting the clocks forward always reminds that spring is just around the corner.
In addition to the time change, it's been sunny with blue skies here all weekend, so I'm definitely feeling a little spring in my step. I even saw my first robin of the year! I suppose it was all of these elements that inspired me to make these Blueberry Swirled Meringues.
They are a delightful dessert for the spring or summer. Not only are they light, but they are bursting with fresh flavor and a touch of sweetness.
In case you've never made meringues, let me assure you they're much easier than you may think. While they don't take a lot of effort, they do require a bit of time to bake. I recommend baking the meringues a day in advance and making the whipped topping and blueberry sauce right before serving.
Meringues are just eggs whites, cream of tartar, sugar, and flavoring. With this recipe, we're adding a swirl of blueberry preserves. This addition to the meringues gives a subtle hint of flavor and a beautiful touch of color. Pretty, right?
The meringues are baked at a low temperature for a quite a while. This cooks the eggs whites and dries the meringue so you're left with a light and crunchy treat.
Topped with homemade whipped cream and a lemon-infused blueberry sauce, the combination of flavors and texture is perfect. Everything works in harmony. Just one bite, and you'll know what I mean.
Plus, I think this dessert looks fancy and impressive. Your guests will marvel at your baking skills.
If, like me, you're more than ready to celebrate spring, give this recipe for Blueberry Swirled Meringues a try!
