Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, softened butter, powdered sugar, and salt. Mix it until crumbly.
  2. Press this mixture into a tart pan evenly and bake for about 15-20 minutes until lightly golden. Let it cool.
  3. For the lemon curd, combine the granulated sugar, eggs, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a saucepan. Cook on medium heat, whisking constantly until it thickens. Allow it to cool.
  4. Once the crust is cool, spread the lemon curd evenly over it.
  5. In another saucepan, combine the fresh blueberries, water, and cornstarch. Cook until it thickens, then pour this blueberry sauce over the lemon curd.
  6. Chill the tart in the refrigerator for at least 120 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.

Notes

You can substitute fresh blueberries with raspberries or strawberries. Use fresh lemon juice and zest for the best flavor.
