Description
A delightful creamy lemon tart topped with a vibrant blueberry sauce, perfectly balancing zesty lemons and sweet blueberries.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 cup blueberries
- ½ cup water
- ½ cup granulated sugar (for blueberry sauce)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Make the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and powdered sugar, then cut in the softened butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press it into a tart pan to form your crust.
- Bake the crust: Bake for 15-20 minutes until lightly golden.
- Prepare the lemon filling: Whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and zest until smooth.
- Fill the tart: Pour the lemon filling into the baked crust, spreading it evenly.
- Bake again: Return the tart to the oven for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set.
- Make the blueberry sauce: Combine the blueberries, water, and sugar in a saucepan. Simmer until the blueberries burst.
- Thicken the sauce (optional): Mix cornstarch with a little water and add it to the saucepan, stirring until thickened.
- Cool and serve: Let the tart cool completely before topping with blueberry sauce.
Notes
Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor. Allow the tart to cool completely before adding the blueberry sauce for presentation.
