Description
A bright and tangy tart with a sweet blueberry filling and a crisp pastry crust.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pre-made tart crust
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into cubes
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and blueberries soften, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs. Gradually whisk about half of the hot blueberry mixture into the eggs to temper them.
- Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining blueberry mixture.
- Return the saucepan to medium-low heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the curd thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5-8 minutes. Do not boil.
- Remove from heat and stir in the butter and lemon zest until the butter is fully melted and incorporated.
- Pour the lemon curd into the pre-made tart crust.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the filling is set.
- Let the tart cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For a decorative touch, top with fresh blueberries before serving.
- Chill the tart for at least 30 minutes before slicing for cleaner cuts.
