If you want to wow your family or guests with an amazing dessert, this Blueberry Lemon Meringue is just the dessert for you.

Make the Blueberry compote the night before, if possible, and finish the dessert the next day. The longer the Blueberry Lemon Meringue stands, the better is gets !

You will notice that the crust, especially on the sides get a little soft. This is due to the, oh so yummy syrup from the Blueberry compote.

It does however still slice nicely, as long as you chill the dessert for at least 4 – 6 hours. This will also set the Lemon filling completely.

As fresh Blueberries are not always available, I tend to forget about this awesome version of a Lemon Meringue.

And it is not only an impressive looking pie, it is most delicious ! Sweet Blueberries in a light syrup and zesty Lemon is always a winner.

Just look at the piece off the spoon – way past decadent. Next time you decide on a Lemon Meringue, why not give this Blueberry Lemon Meringue a go ?

As it is a rich dessert, you should be able to get at least 6 large slices, however, I found when cut into 8 slices, it is just right.

So perfect and just the dessert to take along when it is your turn to bring the dessert !
