Heat blueberries and water in a small saucepan over medium-low heat.
Cook blueberries until they can easily be smashed, about 5 minutes.
Set a fine-mesh strainer over a bowl.
Pour blueberries into the strainer, and press until all the liquid flows into the bowl. Discard the solids.
Pour eggs and egg yolks into a 3 or 4-quart saucepan.
Whisk lightly.
Continue to whisk and slowly drizzle in the hot blueberry puree.
Add the sugar, butter, and a pinch of salt.
Return to medium-low heat and stir constantly with a heat-proof rubber spatula or a wooden spoon, and cook until thickened, between 10-20 minutes.
The blueberry curd should coat the back of your spatula. The curd will continue to thicken as it cools.
Remove the curd from heat and pour into a glass bowl.
Stir in the lemon juice.
Cool at room temperature for 20 minutes, then refrigerate for an hour.
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites until foamy.
Add the coconut and almonds and stir just to combine.
Mix in melted butter, vanilla, and almond extracts.
SPRAY your non-stick muffin tins with cooking spray. Don't forget this, or your coconut cups won't come out of the pan.
Equally divide the coconut mixture among the 12 muffin cups.
Wet your fingers slightly and press the coconut mixture into the bottom and up the sides of each muffin cup.
Bake for 20-24 minutes until the edges of your cups are golden brown.
Remove and cool for 10 minutes in the pan.
Carefully run a thin knife around the top edge of each coconut cup. Allow to cool for 10 more minutes, then remove the cups from the pan.
Allow to cool completely.
Equally divide the blueberry curd among the coconut macaroon cups.
Chill the cups for 15-60 minutes.
Just before serving top with whipped cream and a few fresh blueberries, if using.
