Description
A delightful dessert that combines a bright, zesty lemon filling with a rich, creamy texture, topped off with a vibrant blueberry sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for blueberry sauce)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and powdered sugar. Use a pastry cutter or fork to cut in the softened butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press this mixture into the bottom of a tart pan evenly and bake for about 15 minutes or until lightly golden.
- Make the Filling: While the crust is baking, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and heavy cream in a separate bowl until well combined. Once the crust is done baking, pour this lemon filling into the crust and return it to the oven. Bake for an additional 20 minutes or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Prepare the Blueberry Sauce: For the sauce, place the blueberries, water, and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally, allowing the mixture to cook until the blueberries burst and the sauce thickens, which should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Serve the Tart: Let the lemon tart cool completely before serving. To finish, swirl the blueberry sauce over the top, adding a burst of color and flavor.
Notes
Use fresh ingredients for enhanced flavor. Allow the tart to cool completely before adding the blueberry sauce.
