Delicious Blueberry Meringue Delight

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Blueberry Meringue Delight.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C). This is the perfect temperature for baking our delightful dessert. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, crushed saltine crackers, and chopped walnuts. Mix them well until they form a crumbly mixture. Now, press this mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8x12 inch baking dish, creating a solid crust that will hold all the delicious layers to come.

2. Step 2

   Next, let’s whip up the meringue! In a large metal or glass bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the egg whites until they become frothy. Gradually add in the white sugar, cream of tartar, and white vinegar. Keep mixing until the mixture forms stiff peaks that stand tall. Once you’ve achieved that, gently fold in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract for a touch of flavor. Spread this fluffy meringue over the prepared crust, making sure to cover it evenly. Pop it into the preheated oven and bake for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until the meringue turns a beautiful golden brown and feels firm to the touch. Once done, let the crust cool completely.

3. Step 3

   While the meringue cools, let’s prepare the blueberry filling. In a bowl, mix together the blueberry pie filling and lemon juice. This will add a zesty kick to the sweet blueberries. Once the meringue has cooled, spread the blueberry mixture generously over the top, creating a vibrant layer of fruity goodness.

4. Step 4

   Now, it’s time to make the whipped cream! In a clean bowl, beat the heavy cream and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract with an electric mixer. Gradually add in the confectioners' sugar while mixing, until you achieve fluffy peaks that are perfect for topping. Gently cover the blueberry layer with this luscious whipped cream, smoothing it out for an elegant finish. Finally, refrigerate the dessert until you’re ready to serve it, allowing all those flavors to meld beautifully.
