Time 2h10m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
Pinch kosher salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold, in chunks
1 large egg, separated
2 tablespoons ice water, plus 1 teaspoon
4 large eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 5 lemons)
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 lemon, zested
Pinch kosher salt
1 pint blueberries

Steps:

To make the pastry, pulse the flour, sugar, and salt together in a food processor. Add the butter and pulse until the dough resembles cornmeal. Add the egg yolk and 2 tablespoons ice water and pulse again until the dough pulls together. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Roll the dough up onto the pin and lay it inside a 10-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Press the dough into the edges of the pan and fold the excess dough inside to reinforce the rim. Cover the tart pan with plastic wrap and put it into the refrigerator for another 30 minutes to rest.
To bake the shell, heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Put the tart pan on a baking sheet and prick the bottom of the dough with a fork. Cover the shell with a piece of parchment paper and fill it with pie weights or dry beans. Bake for 25 minutes. Remove the parchment and weights. Lightly beat the egg white with 1 teaspoon water and brush it onto the bottom and sides of the tart shell; set aside to cool.
Whisk together the eggs, sugar, lemon juice, cream, zest, and salt. Add the blueberries to the cooled tart shell and pour the filling over the blueberries. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. The curd should jiggle slightly when done. Cool to room temperature, remove from the tart ring, and serve.

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup butter, at room temperature
½ cup powdered sugar
3 cups blueberries
2 tablespoons cornstarch
¼ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon lemon extract

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Mix flour, butter, and powdered sugar together until a dough forms. Press dough into a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Let cool slightly.
Meanwhile, toss blueberries with cornstarch and place in a saucepan over low heat. Add sugar and lemon extract. Simmer, stirring gently to avoid crushing the berries, until sugar dissolves and filling thickens, 5 to 8 minutes.
Pour blueberry filling over the cooled crust. Let cool before slicing.

Tips:

Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor. Frozen blueberries can be used in a pinch, but they will not have the same vibrant color and flavor as fresh berries.
If you don't have a tart pan, you can use a 9-inch pie plate. Just trim the excess dough around the edges.
To prevent the crust from becoming soggy, pre-bake it for 10-15 minutes before filling it with the blueberry mixture.
Be sure to let the tart cool completely before slicing and serving. This will allow the filling to set and the crust to firm up.
Serve the tart with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream for an extra special treat.

Conclusion:

This heavenly blueberry tart is the perfect dessert for any occasion. With its flaky crust, sweet and tangy filling, and beautiful presentation, it is sure to impress your friends and family. So next time you are looking for a delicious and easy dessert, give this blueberry tart a try. You won't be disappointed.
