This Blueberry and Lemon Eton Mess is a delightful twist on a classic dessert, blending tangy lemon and sweet blueberries into a symphony of flavors. Perfect for warm days or impromptu gatherings, it’s a dessert that feels fancy yet comes together in just 20 minutes.
Prep Time 20 minutes mins
Total Time 20 minutes mins
- 2 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 recipe Perfect Pavlova In 5 Steps Recipe, baked
- 1 recipe Lemon Curd, chilled
Set 6 serving glasses or bowls aside. (We like using clear glasses so the pretty layers can be seen.)
In a small saucepan add the blueberries, water and sugar, and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool completely.
In a large bowl with an electric mixer, whip the cream for about 5 minutes on medium speed to soft peaks. (You can also whip this by hand with a wire whisk.)
Roughly break the pavlova and fold into the cream. (I do big and small pieces for different textures.)
Into each serving glass, first add some lemon curd, followed some pavlova mix and then the blueberries. Top with a bit more pavlova mix and finish with a touch more lemon curd.
Serve your Eton Mess straight away as is or with some vanilla ice cream on top. This dessert is best enjoyed as soon as it is assembled as the meringue will begin to soften very quickly.
