Blueberry and Lemon Eton Mess Recipe
My Eton Mess recipe is a gorgeous dessert made with pavlova (or meringue), cream, and a type of summer fruit — I've chosen luscious blueberries and lemon curd!

Ingredients
- 2 cups (10 oz/284 g) blueberries, fresh or frozen
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 ½ cups (20 fl oz/600 ml) heavy whipping cream
- 1 Perfect Pavlova In 5 Steps Recipe, baked
- 1 recipe Lemon Curd, chilled
Notes
- Use my Pavlova Master Recipe. You can make it in just 5 simple steps!
- For a quicker version of this dessert, you can use store bought meringue cookies. You will need about 24 meringues for this (more or less, depending on the size).
- I love lemon and blueberries together. You can use homemade Lemon Curd or store-bought.
- If you’re like me and bake a lot, you have a supply of egg whites. Freeze them in Ziploc bags, label them, and defrost them for future meringue and pavlova desserts!
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries for this recipe; both work really well. Keep in mind that frozen foods are often frozen when they are at peak ripeness! Same goes for canned food!
- For an eggless version, make Vegan Meringues (with aqua faba) and Vegan Lemon Curd.
- I like to serve this dessert right after it has been mixed up. The meringue starts to dissolve in the cream if it sits too long, so don’t mix it too far in advance.
- Make ahead tip: you can make the curd, blueberry sauce and pavlova up to 3 days in advance. The whipped cream can be made up to 2 hours before assembling.
