  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 8

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups shortcrust pastry (homemade or store-bought)
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries
  • ½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 3 large eggs (room temperature)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). If using store-bought pastry, let it sit at room temperature.
  2. Roll out the shortcrust pastry on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick and transfer it into a tart pan. Trim excess pastry.
  3. Blind bake the crust: Cover with parchment paper and fill with weights; bake for 15 minutes until lightly golden. Remove weights and parchment, then bake for another 5 minutes.
  4. For the lemon curd, combine lemon juice, sugar, and eggs in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir continuously until thickened (8-10 minutes). Remove from heat and whisk in softened butter until melted.
  5. Gently fold in blueberries into the lemon curd mixture, then pour into the baked crust.
  6. Chill the tart in the refrigerator for at least two hours before serving.
