This stunning blueberry lemon tart features a crisp, buttery crust filled with silky lemon curd and topped with fresh blueberries. It’s a bright, elegant dessert that’s perfect for spring and summer gatherings.

Ingredients

  • For the crust:
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1–2 tbsp ice water
  • For the lemon filling:
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter
  • Topping:
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
  • Lemon zest (optional, for garnish)
  • Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Instructions

  1. In a food processor, pulse flour, powdered sugar, and cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Add egg yolk and 1 tbsp ice water. Pulse until dough begins to come together, adding more water if needed.
  3. Press dough into a tart pan and chill for 20–30 minutes.
  4. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Blind bake the crust using parchment paper and pie weights for 15–20 minutes, until golden. Let cool.
  5. In a saucepan over low heat, whisk together lemon juice, zest, sugar, eggs, and yolks. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in butter until smooth and glossy.
  7. Pour warm lemon curd into the cooled crust and smooth the top. Chill for 2–3 hours until set.
  8. Before serving, top with fresh blueberries and garnish with lemon zest or powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

  • Use a graham cracker crust for a no-roll option.
  • Mix other berries with the blueberries for extra color and flavor.
  • Add a thin layer of mascarpone or cream cheese under the curd for a decadent twist.
  • Prepare the crust and filling in advance and assemble the day of serving.
