Belated thanks to everyone for the comments! This probably was about the sugariest dessert we’ve ever made, and definitely too much for me to handle. My body doesn’t seem to do well with too much sugar these days — and I see that the next SHF theme is honey. I am so so screwed…

Moira - glad you liked the Ash quote. I’m tempted to make a list and sneek em in whenever. (No, we’re not HUGE Bruce Campbell fans here, honest!)

I appreciate the urgency of losing the light. Well done. The evening light complements those blueberries so well! :)

Hey, you two crazy kids…fab entry! Gotta love your post title, too- anyone who quotes Bruce Campbell/Ash is aces in my book.

Sugary sweet is what we like here at SHF - and this tart looks as though it fits the bill and then some! It’s gorgeous though and I’ll bet it tasted absolutely delicious.

Thanks so much for sharing it with us - you put the sugar back in Sugar High Fridays!

Spinning sugar is a nice shot.

The (often extreme) sweetness is the only downside to mergingues. I guess that’s why the tend to be filled with unsweetened whipped cream. It looks fantastic, as usual!

What a beautiful tart. Funny, I was also planning to make a meringue-based tart, and thought of doing the same as you did: a meringue disk with raised sides. Then I thought of making another, because I need to cook the meringue and it takes a long time and, as usual, I left it to the last minute.
