For the Blueberry Confiture:

• 200 grams blueberries
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 20 grams sugar
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch

For Decoration:

• Fresh berries (blueberries, raspberries, etc.)

Instructions:

1. Preparing the Meringue:

   • Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F).
   • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
   • In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks.
   • Gradually add the powdered sugar while continuing to beat until the mixture is glossy and forms stiff peaks.
   • Gently fold in the cornstarch and lemon juice.
   • Spread the meringue mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
   • Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the meringue is firm to the touch and lightly golden.
   • Remove from the oven, allow it to cool for a few minutes, then carefully invert it onto a sheet of parchment paper. Let it cool completely.

2. Preparing the Cream Cheese Filling:

   • In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
   • Add the heavy cream and powdered sugar, and continue to beat until the mixture is thick and creamy.

3. Preparing the Blueberry Confiture:

   • In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, lemon juice, sugar, and cornstarch.
   • Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and the blueberries have broken down.
   • Remove from heat and let it cool completely.

4. Assembling the Meringue Roll:

   • Once the meringue is completely cool, spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the surface.
   • Spread the blueberry confiture on top of the cream cheese filling.
   • Carefully roll up the meringue from one short end to the other, using the parchment paper to help guide it.

5. Decorating the Meringue Roll:

   • Spread any remaining cream cheese filling over the top of the roll.
   • Decorate with fresh berries.

Tips:

• Make sure the meringue is completely cool before assembling to avoid melting the filling.
• Use a sharp knife to slice the roll for clean, beautiful pieces.
• This dessert can be made a few hours in advance and kept in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
